	Fossil Horses and Othniel Charles Marsh
		Othniel Charles Marsh, born in Lockport, New York, on October 29, 1831, developed a love for the outdoors at an early age.
		Marsh's evidence was in the fossil horses in his collection - the changing bone structure through the ages to support a changing environment and to better adapt for survival from predators.
		Though Marsh examined many different species of animals in his lifetime, it is his work with the line of descent of the horse that he is recognized with, as well as his vast fossil collection which he donated to Yale.

	Othniel C. Marsh
		Othniel Charles Marsh still retains a reputation as an "armchair paleontologist," too busy to work in the field, who owed his high standing not to genius, but to luck and to his family's money.
		Marsh is perhaps most famous as the rival and enemy of Edward Drinker Cope, America's other great vertebrate paleontologist of the period.
		Marsh's enormous collection of fossils enabled him to fill in a number of the gaps in the fossil record that were troublesome for supporters of Darwinian evolution.

		While Marsh’s main position was professor of paleontology at Yale University, he was also appointed United States Paleontologist for the U. Geological Survey from 1882-1892, and became Honorary Curator of the Department of Vertebrate Fossils at the United States National Museum in 1882.
		Marsh was asked by then secretary of the Smithsonian, Spencer Baird, to collect vertebrate fossils for the Smithsonian Institution.
		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.

		Marsh (1831-1899) was the son of a New York farmer.
		Marsh developed an interest in natural history as a boy and with the financial support of his wealthy uncle (George Peabody) began his formal education at the age of 21.
		Marsh's political prowess would manifest itself in his eventual status as the dean of American paleontology, his power struggle to deny Ferdinand V. Hayden the directorship of the U. Geological Survey, and his exposure of corruption in the U. Bureau of Indian Affairs on the behalf of his Sioux friend, Red Cloud.

		Othniel Charles Marsh (1831 - 1899) was one of the first paleontologists to explore the rich fossil beds of the western interior of the United States.
		Marsh and his field crew discovered and collected an incredible wealth of dinosaur material in the badlands of Wyoming and Colorado, including such famous dinosaurs as Triceratops, Stegosaurus,Ceratosaurus, Diplodocus, "Brontosaurus" (now called Apatasaurus), "Morosaurus" (now Camarasaurus), and many others.

		Marsh was born Oct. 28, 1831, in Lockport, N.Y. to Caleb and Mary Peabody Marsh.
		Marsh also observed evolutionary trends in the numerous equine fossils he recovered from the American West and was able to trace the lineage of the modern-day horse, most notably in the evolution of a many-toed foot into the modern hoof.
		Marsh tended to have polarized relationships with his aides, Brinkman said, either they loved and appreciated him or completely resented him and felt that he was overbearing.

		Marsh had the slightest headache, a tiny sliver of pain that lived somewhere in the middle of his balding head.
		Marsh heard a rustling to his left, behind a stand of the stubby, stubborn pines that managed to scratch a living out of the thin soil.

		Marsh became a popular lecturer, thrilling audiences with tales of his adventures riding for his life in a stampeding herd of buffalo and preparing Thanksgiving dinner on the plains.
		Today Marsh Hall and the Marsh Botanical Garden (later redesigned by Beatrix Farrand) continue to be used by the forestry school for instruction and research.

	Haddonfield and the 'Bone Wars'
		That's the popular name for the decades-long feud between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, each of whom was determined to be recognized as the country's leading authority in the new field of dinosaur paleontology.
		Shortly after Marsh left, Cope learned that the Yale professor had quietly gone back for private visits with the various marl pit managers and offered them money to send their alerts and bones to New Haven rather than Haddonfield.
		Marsh headed west in his first expedition in the summer of 1870; he led a team of Yale students prospecting for bones in desolate high-prairie areas where western Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado converge.

		Marsh's Brontosaurus would wind up getting both his name and his head changed, but it is essentially still the same animal.

	Yale Peabody Museum: History and Archives: Othniel Charles Marsh
		Marsh’s early love of the outdoors led to friendship with the geologist Colonel Ezekiel Jewett, and young Othniel acquired a taste for collecting natural history specimens as his boyhood idol taught him about the local minerals and the excellent trilobite, brachiopod, and crinoid specimens that could be found near his home.
		Marsh himself received a substantial inheritance after Peabody’s death in 1869, which spared him the necessity of receiving a salary from Yale—and doing the teaching to earn it.
		Marsh used his inheritance to build a large house (now the home of Yale’s School of Forestry and Environmental Studies)—in which he entertained visitors ranging from Sioux Chief Red Cloud to Alfred Russel Wallace — and to amass large collections of vertebrate fossils, fossil footprints, invertebrate fossils, osteological specimens, and archaeological and ethnological artifacts.

		The methods Cope and Marsh used to control and divert fossils inevitably guided the expansion and settling of these lands, and Wallace argues forcefully that this competition started the boom of unsustainable growth that we are only now beginning to recognize.
		Wallace begins with a biographical narrative of both Cope and Marsh, from their family origins and early interest in science, to their maturation as paleontologists and their initial encounters with one another, and on to their growing competition with one another and eventual implacable conflicts and feud.
		Marsh is less sympathetic because of the ruthless way he attempts to cut Cope off from all governmental support for his research, and the manner in which he attempts to keep Cope, who was probably the more gifted paleontologist, on the scientific periphery.

	30 Decades of Distinguished Graduates
		B.A. There is something typically American in the lively, pioneering career of paleontologist O. Marsh, a balance between theory and practice, science and adventure -- thanks to his regular forays across the wide West to collect specimens.
		His defense of Darwin's then-new theory of natural selection was based on physical evidence -- skeletons of birds with teeth, sequences of horse fossils -- that commanded both scholarly respect and popular fascination in the press.
		If family wealth and connections helped make Marsh the first curator of the museum at Yale (established by his uncle George Peabody), his own accomplishments more than repaid the favor.

	The Lost World: Bestiary
		Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh were rival palaentologists who spared no quarter in their race to outmaneouver the other for dinosaur finds.
		Also active at the time of Marsh and Cope was Jospeh Leidy, who was working in the American northwest and in the southwest of Canada.
		It wasn't until Charles R. Knight, famed painter from the American Museum of Natural History, that modern paleo-art would be born, with it's depictions of prehistoric creatures as genuine animals rather than fantasy creatures.

		Originally, Edward Drinker Cope (1840-1897) and Othniel Charles Marsh (1831-1894) were friends, having met at the University of Berlin and having a common interest in the study of fossils.
		Marsh established himself as a professor at Yale without teaching duties as a result of a generous endowment by his uncle, George Peabody.
		Marsh directed that the dinosaur pits be dynamited rather than allow fossels to fall into the "wrong hands." On one occasion, Cope had a train load of Marsh's fossils diverted to Philadelphia.
