  John Bell Hatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Bell Hatcher (October 11, 1861 – July 3, 1904) was an American paleontologist most famous for discovering the triceratops.
Born in Cooperstown, Illinois, Hatcher matriculated at Grinnell College in Iowa in the autumn of 1880, then transferred to Yale University, where he and his paleontological prowess were discovered by the great paleontologist Othniel C. Marsh, who invited him to a paleontological dig in Nebraska.

 Yale Peabody Museum: History & Archives: John Bell Hatcher
Hatcher felt that his opportunities at Yale were limited and disagreed with Marsh over his policy of not allowing “assistants” to publish on their own.
Hatcher also came up with the concept of publishing the results of the expeditions as a series of reports with funding he acquired from J. Pierpont Morgan.
Hatcher died of typhoid fever in July 1904, and was buried in an unmarked grave, an oversight that was not corrected until 1995.

John Bell Hatcher (1861-1904), arguably the greatest single collector in the history of 19th Century paleontology in America.
Hatcher primarily worked for O.C. Marsh, providing the latter with the marvelous skulls of Triceratops and Torosaurus which became so famous and now adorn so many museum halls.
Hatcher also authored the majority of the 1907 monograph The Ceratopsia, and most unfortunately died from typhus at only 42 years of age.

John Bell Hatcher -- John Bell Hatcher was Yale University paleontologist O.C. Marsh's right hand man before going west to make fossil discoveries of his own.
In the late 1880s, Hatcher worked the iron ore mines of Maryland and collected a large number of dinosaur and other fossils from the Arundel Clay unit of the Potomac Group.
Hatcher's efforts on behalf of Marsh resulted in the most dinosaur material to have ever been collected in Maryland.

 Maryland Geological Survey: Astrodon johnstoni: the Maryland State Dinosaur
In late 1887, renewed exploration at iron pits in the Arundel Clay between Washington and Baltimore was carried out under the auspices of Othniel C. Marsh, first professor of paleontology in the U.S. and director of the Peabody Museum at Yale University in Connecticut.
Collecting was done mainly by John Bell Hatcher, a former student of Marsh and a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
Hatcher soon found what would become the richest dinosaur fossil site ever found in the Lower Cretaceous of the East Coast--the Arundel Clay in the area between Beltsville and Muirkirk in Prince George's County.

This book, published by Stanford University Press in 1938, describes “methods of procedure that have developed from the early ‘eighties to the present time…” and is an expansion of an illustration manual written earlier for the USGS (Ridgway, 1920).
Although Othniel Charles Marsh died before he was able to finish all of the monographs that would have included many of the drawings in this collection, he was able to turn a large number of the illustrations into lithographs in preparation for publication prior to his death.

By December, 1887, Hatcher was on track and working in the real Potomac Group beds between Baltimore and Washington.
The exasperated Hatcher wrote Marsh several times suggesting that without help it was best to give up the effort.

Some of the most dramatic improvements in field methods were made by John Bell Hatcher, who started working for Marsh in 1884 and would later gain fame collecting for Andrew Carnegie.
Hatcher developed a systematic method of excavation in which a site was laid out in grids.
As each grid was worked, the type, position and orientation of the fossils found in that grid would be thoroughly documented.

 Dinosaurs of Maryland
In 1895, James A. Mitchell, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, reported upon and drew pictures of dinosaur footprints from a quarry north of Emmitsburg.
It is of interest that many of these bones were found 100 years ago in 1887-1888 by John Bell Hatcher.
John Bell Hatcher is said to have commented that "no two bones or fragments of all that material collected from the Potomac beds in Maryland were found in such relation to one another as to demonstrate that they belonged to the same individual." Such fragmentary, disarticulated remains naturally led to confusion and controversy.

 Hatcher and the Quarry Map, 1901   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Hatcher, who had left Marsh's employ and now worked for Andrew Carnegie, named the new species Diplodocus carnegii, after his patron, and his monograph tells the full story of the discoveries, with thirteen plates that show, among other things, each of the forty-one vertebrae recovered from the type specimen.
But in some ways the first plate in the monograph is even more remarkable, in spite of its plain appearance and prosaic caption: "Diagram of Quarry C. Showing positions of skeletons 84 and 94." Hatcher here introduced a new kind of visual image into the arsenal of the paleontologist: the quarry map.
It shows the exact positions of the bones of the two Diplodocus skeletons as they lay when discovered, and also shows the scattered bones of other species, such as Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus.

Captain John N. Macomb led the expedition, which explored the rugged canyonlands region of southeastern Utah up to the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers.
The expedition's scientist, Dr. John S. Newberry, collected a number of bones from the front leg of a sauropod dinosaur, but much material remained imbedded in hard sandstone on a steep cliff in Cañon Pintado (now called East Canyon) where the site is located.
Expeditions included those led by William Berryman Scott and Henry Fairfield Osborn from Princeton in 1877-78 and 1886; that led by John Bell Hatcher from Princeton in 1895; that of Osborn and Oscar A. Peterson from the American Museum of Natural History in 1893-94; and that led by William Diller Matthew from AMNH in 1899.

Charles Beecher in 1901 completed the first skeletal restoration of a dinosaur to be mounted in the United States.
The specimen, called at the time Claosaurus annectens, was one of two nearly complete skeletons that had been found in 1891 by John Bell Hatcher.
Marsh had published a restoration in 1892, but he had not reconstructed the specimen, so after Marsh's death, Beecher took on the project of mounting the skeleton.

They had tried to dig out the rest of the skull, which had "horns as long as a hoe handle and eye holes big as your hat," but the fossil broke free and tumbled to the bottom of the canyon.
