	On the Classification of the Dinosauria (1870) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Von Meyer classifies fossil reptiles according to the nature of their locomotive organs; and his second division, defined as "Saurians, with limbs like those of the heavy terrestrial Mammalia," is established for Megalosaurus and Iguanodon.
		Von Meyer appears to be inclined to consider it a tibia, comparing the smaller end of the bone to the distal end of the tibia of Poikilopleuron ; and the figures support the determination.
		Von Meyer refers to the 'Isis' for 1830, as containing the first sketch of his views.

	Hermann von Helmholtz + Théophile Gautier
		It was on this date, August 31, 1821, that German physician and physicist Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz was born in Potsdam, Prussia, in what is now Germany.
		The son of a classics teacher of small means, Hermann was persuaded to set aside his love of natural science in favor of medicine, because the Prussian government would pay for a medical education — as long as he committed to 10 years as a physician in the army.
		Hermann von Helmholtz died in Charlottenburg on 8 September 1894.

		In other words, this would mean that von Meyer had given the name to an animal which had not been found, which cannot have been his intention.
		In von Meyer's (1862) paper the feather is shown on plate 8, fig.
		As a result of this study of the synonymy, however, it is clear that the British Museum specimen of Archaeopteryx lithographica von Meyer is the holotype of the genus and species.

	"Archaeopteryx lithographica: The Ultimate Fraud"
		Meyer named the specimen Archaeopteryx lithographica [3]; the genus name meant "ancient wing" while the species name reflected the fact that the particular limestone at the quarry was used for the production of lithographic plates in the printing industry.
		The six specimens of Archaeopteryx lithographica, together with the feather reported by Herman von Meyer, are summarized in table 1.
		They also suggested that the first discovery, the von Meyer specimen, had been produced in the same way and pointed out that the texture of the slab and counter-slab were not the same as would be expected from a genuine fossil.

		Haarlem Specimen (TM 6428, also known as the Teyler Specimen): Discovered in 1855 near Riedenburg, Germany and described as a Pterodactylus crassipes in 1875 by von Meyer, it was reclassified in 1970 by John Ostrom.
		The ICZN did suppress the plethora of alternative names initially proposed for the first skeleton specimens (ICZN, 1961), which mainly resulted from the acrimonious dispute between von Meyer and his opponent Johann Andreas Wagner (whose Griphosaurus - "enigmatic lizard" - was a vitriolic sneer at von Meyer's Archaeopteryx).

		Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer (September 3, 1801 - April 2, 1869), German palaeontologist, was born at Frankfurt am Main.
		In 1832 he issued a work entitled Palaeologica, and in course of time he published a series of memoirs on various fossil organic remains: molluscs, crustaceans, fishes and higher vertebrata, including the Triassic predator Teratosaurus, the earliest bird Archaeopteryx lithographica (1861), the pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus, and the prosauropod dinosaur Plateosaurus.

	Early examples
		In the 1850's, whilst studying the femur, anatomist Hermann von Meyer noticed that the femur head contained an orderly lattice of tiny ridges of bone called trabeculae.
		The ridges spread in curving lines, from the head of the femur at right angles to other such ridges and all act to strengthen the bone.
		Hermann von Meyer happened to show this to a Swiss engineer Karl Cullman who noticed that the strength was provided along the lines of compression and tension, in precisely the manner and direction in which it was required.

	Designs from Life - National Zoo\| FONZ
		During the early 1850s, anatomist Hermann von Meyer was studying the part of the thigh bone, or femur, that inserts into the hip joint.
		This joint is intriguing because the femur head extends sideways into the hip socket, and so it bears the body's weight off-center.
		Von Meyer found that the inside of the femur head contains an orderly latticework of tiny ridges of bone called trabeculae.
