	Bone Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bone Wars were an infamous period in the history of paleontology when the two pre-eminent paleontologists of the time, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, were competing to see who could find the most, and most sensational, new species of dinosaur.
		The Bone Wars were triggered by the 1858 discovery of the holotype specimen of Hadrosaurus foulkii by William Parker Foulke in the marl pits of Haddonfield, New Jersey.
		Bone Wars: The Game of Ruthless Paleontology from Zygote Games LLC is based on the Cope-Marsh feud.

		Bone cards may be added to dinosaurs if that bone type was previously missing from the skeleton.
		The rules say that if there aren't enough bone cards then the first player draws all of his, then the second player, etc. In other words if you happen to be to the right of the first player....

	Haddonfield and the 'Bone Wars'
		Haddonfield resident Edward Drinker Cope at age 30 in 1870, two years after the start of the Bone Wars when he was planning his first trip to hunt fossils in the West.
		The "Bone Wars" between Edward Cope and O.C. Marsh has been the subject of a shelf full of books over the last century.
		Throughout the 1870s, Cope managed his side of the continent-spanning Bone Wars from his Haddonfield home, which even had a barn outfitted as a paleontology workshop and manned by a full-time bone preparer.

	The Bone Wars
		Yet the Territory and Como Bluff was at the center of another war which gripped the public's attention during the last third of the 19th Century, a war which involved Indians, F. Hayden, John Wesley Powell, Yale University's Peabody Museum, the Philadelphia Acadamy of Natural Sciences, and the Smithsonian.
		The Bone Cabin Quarry at Como Bluff took its name from the fact that a cabin belonging to a local trapper was made of dinosaur bones.
		The end result of the Bone Wars was that each exhausted their respective fortunes.

	Intro
		The bone or shell material seemed to be filled with crystalline minerals, often calcite, quartz, or iron oxide, and these minerals must have taken some time to enter the pores and solidify.
		He found that the shapes of bones indicated trhe purposes for which they were used and the relationships of the animals in question.
		Inferior bones were smashed in the field, and the good ones were hacked out with such speed, and with none of the careful mapping, strengthening, and packaging that is commonplace today.

		He cradled the bone like an infant and slid out from under the tent flap, retrieving his rifle as he did so.
		Burgess almost laughed at the thought that he was a god of thunder; he had a thunder stick in one hand and the bone of a Thunder Horse in the other.
		Marsh was growing increasingly disgusted with his own inability to find bones, and with the inability of the Sioux to keep track of the speedy third bone hunter.

		Its bones were battered, some were obviously missing, but it was still frightful.
		A long, slender half-skull, one of its eye sockets obliterated, was capped near the mouth by two curving teeth, one of which was broken off in the middle.
		It would ordinarily house some bones wrapped in burlap bags, but there didn’t seem to be any bones around except for the monstrous head, and that was being left behind.

	Bone Wars
		The Wild West already meets dinosaurs in the tales of the Bone Wars: the exploits and shenanigans of arch-rivals Edward D. Cope and Othniel C. Marsh, and the later (and much friendlier) rivalry of Charles Sternberg and Barnum Brown.
		As it becomes increasingly obvious that neither foreign paleontologist is what he claims to be, Cope and Marsh form an uneasy alliance to stop both of these mysterious "foreigners" and keep all the bones for themselves, with the help of both the Sioux and their enemies the Crow.
		Set against the ultimately futile struggle of the Indians to keep their lands and their culture against the unstoppable influx of settlers, the question is not an idle one.

	Hairy Museum of Natural History » Bone Wars
		Inspired by the bitter rivalries between larger-than-life paleontological personalities at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, Bone Wars pits researchers against one another in a battle for scientific immortality.
		All in all, Bone Wars is an enjoyable way to pass the time with a few friends and is an excellent first product from a new company with an admirable mission.
		(The HMNH review of Bone Wars is here.) I think this is a great way to help compensate for the disgraceful actions of those Board-members who compromised the quality of public education in Kansas, and I hope that other science promoters will follow suit.

	Arthur Lakes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Having sent a fossilised vertebra specimen (from the Morrison Formation of Dakota, USA) to Othniel Charles Marsh, in 1877, he was then employed by Marsh to seek other discoveries, in the so-called Bone Wars.
		Although he was employed by Marsh, Lakes was visited by Marsh's Bone War opponent Edward Drinker Cope, while working at Como Bluff.
		Although it was the last thing he intended, Lakes was the cause of increased animosity between Cope and Marsh, by co-operating with both.

		In the late 1800s, the discovery of dinosaur bones in Wyoming sparked a scientific gold rush among museums, universities, and individuals looking for a part of the glory and fame.
		Knowledgeably written by former journalist Tom Rea, Bone Wars: The Excavation And Celebrity Of Andrew Carnegie's Dinosaurs is the award- winning true story of how a Diplodicus carngeii fossil (named after famous industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie) found in the Wyoming badlands helped bring about public fascination with the great beasts of millennia past.
		Though Bone Wars is entirely nonfiction, it is so deftly written that it reads like a novel as it follows the battles of individuals, conflicting scientific theories, and even instances of backstabbing and double-crossing in the bone-hunting world of a century past.

	Review - Bone: Out From Boneville // PC /// Eurogamer
		In the case of Bone: Out of Boneville, the game kicks off with three of the Bone clan stranded in the desert, and not feeling too good about life in general having been 'run out of town' for reasons we'll let you discover for yourselves.
		You certainly won't be playing Bone for its jaw-dropping special effects or incredible animation, but it certainly has enough of an endearing style for that to not really matter at all.
		When Bone is playing it straight, and tasking the player to have surreal conversations with giant insects, monsters and dragons, you have a nice warm feeling inside that you're getting the most out of the story and the talent behind it.

		The “Bone Wars” benefited paleontology; when the war began only 18 dinosaur species were known from North America.
		In the course of their careers the two men described over 130 species and found piles of fossils which are now in the Peabody Museum in Yale, the Smithsonian Institution and the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia where Cope worked.

		The bones themselves are much more massive than is typical of a theropod, and the serrated teeth, far from being bladelike, are massive and oval in cross-section.
		The teeth are often worn or broken at the tips from heavy use but, unlike mammals, were continually grown and shed throughout the life of the animal.
		To compensate for its immense bulk, the interior of many bones were hollow.

		More shells and pieces of animal bones were set up in a rough oval around the area where the child would be laid to rest.
		The "battle of the bones" began when the child's skeleton was examined by an international team headed by noted Neanderthal expert Erik Trinkaus of Washington University in St. Louis, who was surprised to discover an unusual combination of features in the bones.
		The Lagar Velho child seemed to have characteristics of both Neanderthals and modern humans, and to Trinkaus that meant that the child was an "intermediate" form, a kind of "missing link" between what he sees as two different species of humans, the Neanderthal and the so-called Cro-Magnon.

		Cope, turn a scientific rivalry into what would later be termed the great “Bone Wars.” During the late 1870’s these men sent their armies of researchers off to the American West in pursuit of dinosaur fossils of all shapes and sizes.
		The race between Cope and Marsh to discover new species was often characterized by complaints made by Cope that Marsh was bribing his diggers to steal Cope’s fossils.
		Throughout these “Bone Wars” the two men would often criticize each other in their scientific publications, and later this criticism made it into the newspapers.
