Re: [dinosaur] Ye old Marsh Scelidosaurus skeletal ref

Interesting. At first I was feeling paleofoolish because I have a copy of Dinosaurs of North America, but gave up wading through the thing looking for the Scelidosaurus skeletal which is nearly at the end of the massive tome because it was about the dinosaurs of N Amer duh. But had I found it would not know about the earlier publications so it all worked out in the end. 

Thanks,

Hmmm... it does seem to be in this slightly older paper also:

Correct. I know it is in Marsh 1896 but do not believe it was around prior to this.

I believe it was first published in Marsh's 1896 Dinosaurs of North America, Plate LXXXIII (83):

I have not been able to track down the original reference for the classic Marsh restoration of Scelidosaurus -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Scelidosaurus_skeleton.jpg. 

If any knows what it is please let me know.
