	Othniel Charles Marsh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Othniel Charles Marsh (October 29, 1831 - March 18, 1899) was one of the pre-eminent paleontologists of the 19th century, who discovered and named many fossils found in the American West.
		Marsh is famous for his "palaeontological battle", the so-called Bone Wars, with Edward Drinker Cope during the late 19th century.
		Marsh is interred at the Grove Street Cemetery, New Haven, Connecticut.

		Othniel Charles Marsh (18 maart 1831 - 29 oktober 1899) was een Amerikaans paleontoloog.
		Geboren in Lockport in een vrij welgestelde familie, was Charles Marsh (hij haatte de naam "Othniel") een vrij trage leerling, waarvan de magere schoolprestaties niet de toekomstige grootheid als wetenschapper zouden doen vermoeden.
		Marsh was zeer bezitterig en zelfs ziekelijk jaloers.

	Fossil Horses and Othniel Charles Marsh
		Marsh recalled, that after seeing the Yale collection, Huxley believed that these specimens "demonstrated the evolution of the horse beyond question, and for the first time indicated the direct line of descent of an existing animal," as quoted from MacFadden, 31.
		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 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.

	Othniel C. Marsh - Lockportian In History
		Marsh traveled to the Syracuse, New York area to see the "giant" which was then on display for 50-cent a view.
		Marsh was often in conflict with another famous expert on paleontology, Edward Drinker Cope, a man he first met while studying in Europe.
		Among the national honors Marsh acquired were: Vice-President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, President of the National Academy of Sciences (1883-1895), and winner of the "Cuvier Prize," the highest honor given to a paleontologist.

	O.C. Marsh - EvoWiki
		Marsh was intelligent, and productive as a scientist, though in both of these regards it is questionable if he was a match for the truly gifted E.D. Cope of Philadelphia, with whom Marsh would have a life-long rivalry.
		Some of Marsh's most noteworthy scientific accomplishments include naming and describing Triceratops, the quintessential dinosaur with which all children are fascinated, naming Ceratopsia, describing Theropoda, and recovering and describing the marvelous remains of Hesperornis regalis and Ichthyornis dispar from the Upper Cretaceous Niobrara chalk beds of Kansas (published in a gorgeous monograph in 1880).
		Marsh was also an early defender of the theropod origin of birds (see Marsh 1877), and had a penchant for Mesozoic mammals.

	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.

		Marsh is seen standing in the middle of the back row holding a rock hammer in his left hand.
		Marsh's search teams were constantly exposed to danger, but it was his 1874 expedition that nearly came to grief as a consequence of this strife.
		Marsh met with Red Cloud and other Lakota leaders and attempted to persuade them that he wanted fossils not gold and that he would take their complaints about poor treatment by Federal Indian agents to President Grant in Washington.

	The Great Fossil Feud
		Paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh were great rivals, and their mutual animosity fueled the search for fossils in the American West.
		Like Marsh, he was attracted to the natural sciences, but Cope's education consisted of briefly attending the University of Pennsylvania, studying abroad, and working at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.
		Marsh was particularly incensed when Cope temporarily lured away one of his field collectors, Sam Smith, and then somehow gained possession of Marsh's fossils.

	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 Bone Wars
		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.

		Some were so upset by his presence, especially by the number of wagons and men he brought with him, that they demanded the local Indian agent tell him and his party to return to the train and leave the area.
		Marsh, a stubborn man by nature, refused to leave and insisted on meeting Red Cloud to discuss the purpose of his expedition.
		Public reaction was immediate when Marsh reported these further activities to the New York Herald newspaper resulting in a series of articles outlining the misdeeds of the Interior Department’s Bureau of Indian Affairs.

	The Fossil Wars
		Othniel Marsh was born in 1831 to a ne'er-do-well Yankee farmer and might have become one himself if not for the good fortune of being the nephew of a wealthy financier, George Peabody.
		Marsh's influence was declining in Washington because his ally, John Wesley Powell of the United States Geological Survey, was losing a battle against unrestrained Western land development.
		It was economic recession, not The Herald, that cut Marsh down to size, forcing the lifelong bachelor to give up the princely life of inherited wealth and live the last few years on his university salary, in declining health and loneliness.

		Swamps and marshes both occur in low-lying areas near rivers or on flat areas along coasts between the high and low watermarks.
