The Bone Wars, also known as the Great Dinosaur Rush, is what a period of intense fossil hunting in the late 19th century came to be called, thanks primarily to the intense and bitter rivalry between two of America's most prominent early paleontologists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. These two men, who started out as friends, would end up destroying each other's and their own lives in their intense quest to become America's most heralded fossil hunter.

Welcome back to the Fossil Huntress Podcast, the show where we dig into the dirt—both literally and historically—to uncover the most fascinating stories from Earth's deep past. Here you'll find ammonites, trilobites, dinosaurs and more!I'm Heidi Henderson, the Fossil Huntress, your host, and today… we're diving into one of the most epic rivalries in science history.It's got fossils. It's got sabotage. It's got exploding railcars and a whole lot of dinosaur bones.It was one of the most famous of all paleo feuds we affectionately call the Bone Wars—the intense feud between two 19th-century paleontologists: Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh.Alright, let's set the scene.It's the late 1800s. Paleontology is still a young science, and the American West is full of undiscovered fossil treasure. Into this world step two brilliant, ambitious, and very competitive scientists: Cope and Marsh.Edward Drinker Cope was a Philadelphian—charismatic, energetic, a bit hot-headed. He published tons of papers, traveled constantly, and had a deep love for reptiles and amphibians.Othniel Charles Marsh was from Connecticut—quiet, methodical, and extremely well-connected. In fact, his wealthy uncle was the founder of Yale's Peabody Museum.At first, they were friends. Briefly. They even went fossil hunting together in New Jersey. But that didn't last long.So what went wrong?Well, the drama really kicked off over a fossil of an extinct marine reptile called Elasmosaurus. Cope reconstructed the skeleton and proudly published it—except he put the skull on the wrong end. Marsh gleefully pointed out the mistake, and let's just say Cope didn't take it well.From that moment on, it was war.The two men started competing furiously—racing to out-discover, out-name, and out-publish each other. They hired entire fossil-hunting teams, often sending them to the same dig sites in the American West.And they didn't play fair.They bribed each other's workers.They spied on dig sites.They even dynamited fossils to keep the other from getting them. (Yes, really.)But here's the wild part: in their rush to beat each other, Cope and Marsh made some of the most important fossil discoveries in history.Between them, they described over 130 new dinosaur species—including some names you might recognize:StegosaurusApatosaurusDiplodocusAllosaurusAnd dozens more. Their discoveries laid the groundwork for modern paleontology—even though they were practically trying to ruin each other the whole time.By the time the Bone Wars fizzled out in the 1890s, both men were basically broke. They'd spent their fortunes on fossil digs, museum battles, and publishing wars.But despite the chaos, their work helped turn dinosaurs into a global fascination—and opened the door to one of the greatest eras of fossil discovery the world had ever seen.So what's the legacy of the Bone Wars?Well, it's a cautionary tale about how ego and rivalry can warp science—but also a story about passion, persistence, and the thrill of discovery.Today, paleontologists continue to refine, revise, and build on the work that Cope and Marsh started—even correcting some of the mistakes they made in their rush to be first.Because science isn't about who gets the credit. It's about uncovering the truth, one bone at a time.
E. D. Cope is one of the most recognizable and notorious names in paleontology history. He did some of the most important early work in vertebrate paleontology, he was one half of the dueling duo in the infamous Bone Wars, he named some of the most famous fossil animals, and he was profoundly irresponsible and unethical with his science. This episode, we're joined by Astrid Lundberg to explore the life and legacy of Edward Cope, investigating such questions as: How did he get his start? What lasting contributions did he make to paleontology? And what was wrong with this guy? In the news: giant small pterosaurs, plesiosaur skin, bat teeth, and African isotopes.

Although they started as friends, they soon turned bitter enemies, competing against one another for 20 years to find and name the most fossils. This duel, often dubbed the “bone wars” led to espionage, sabotage, scandal, backstabbing, name calling, bribery, theft, and the throwing of literal rocks. It also led to a lot of mistakes made in haste. But, at the end of the day, it led to the discovery of 130 dinosaur species including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Allosaurus, Apatosaurus (AKA Brontosaurus… I'll explain in the episode!), and more.

Bien que sa formulation emprunte aux travaux d'autres scientifiques, la règle dite de "Cope" a été baptisée ainsi, au début du XXe siècle, en référence au paléontologue américain Edward Drinker Cope.Elle postule que la taille d'une espèce d'animaux tend à augmenter au cours du temps. Si les animaux voient leur taille augmenter, c'est parce qu'ils profitent d'avantages évolutifs.Ils trouveraient ainsi, au fur et à mesure de l'évolution, une nourriture plus variée et apprendraient à mieux résister aux changements climatiques et aux attaques des prédateurs.Un exemple souvent cité de ce phénomène est la croissance de la taille des chevaux, ou du moins de la plupart de leurs espèces. Au départ guère plus gros qu'un chien, ils ont grandi peu à peu, pour mesurer, aujourd'hui, environ 1,70 m au garrot.L'augmentation de la taille des animaux les soumet également à certains inconvénients. Elle a en effet entraîné une augmentation de leurs besoins en eau et en nourriture.Cette plus grande taille a également entraîné un temps de gestation plus long et une plus faible fécondité.Par ailleurs, l'évolution ne semble pas toujours favoriser l'augmentation de la taille. En effet, il existe, à cet égard, un certain nombre d'exceptions. Les spécialistes citent ainsi le cas des poissons osseux, dont la taille semble diminuer avec le temps.Loin de profiter de certains avantages évolutifs, ces animaux subissent des contraintes auxquelles ils répondent par une réduction de volume. En effet, ils doivent affronter une véritable compétition pour l'accès à des ressources alimentaires plus limitées. Ces poissons la perdraient sûrement s'ils étaient plus volumineux.On peut encore citer certaines espèces de tortues ou même de chevaux qui, loin de voir leur taille augmenter, auraient subi une diminution de gabarit. On peut s'appuyer, pour expliquer ce phénomène, sur la règle de Bergmann, d'après laquelle les animaux sont en général plus petits dans les régions chaudes.En effet, une petite taille leur permettrait plus facilement d'évacuer la chaleur. Il s'agirait donc d'une meilleure adaptation au milieu naturel. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Gabriele Ferrari"Polvere e ossa"Codice Edizioniwww.codiceedizioni.itIn Polvere e ossa si racconta la storia di due paleontologi: uno era darwinista, l'altro lamarckiano. Uno era freddo e distaccato, l'altro esplosivo. Uno era stato educato nelle migliori scuole d'America, l'altro ha scritto il suo primo articolo scientifico prima ancora di laurearsi. Per cinquant'anni, alla fine dell'Ottocento, Edward Drinker Cope e Othniel Charles Marsh fecero a gara a chi accumulava più fossili e pubblicava più studi, spendendo considerevoli quantità di denaro per farlo; e per sabotarsi a vicenda.dGabriele Ferrari ripercorre le tappe e i protagonisti di una rivalità scientifica e umana sempre più feroce e rapidamente degenerata in aperto conflitto, che coinvolse esploratori, soldati, spie, generali, politici e persino Buffalo Bill (oltre a un breve cameo del generale Custer…). Una rivalità figlia non solo dello scontro tra due personalità opposte, ma anche del luogo in cui si è sviluppata. Ambientata per lo più in un Far West desertico e polveroso, tra fossili, dinamite e musei, la guerra delle ossa è una storia profondamente americana che parla di frontiera e destino manifesto, di colonizzazione e genocidio, ma anche di come il capitalismo ha plasmato in maniera decisiva la storia della scienza.Gabriele FerrariLaureato in paleontologia ma con una formazione parallela in cinema, scrive di scienza e film (e occasionalmente le due cose insieme) su “Focus”, “Oggi” ed “Esquire”, e sui siti badtaste.it e i400calci.com. Ha tradotto diversi saggi scientifici e scritto un libro di scienze per le scuole medie, tre libri di critica cinematografica (dedicati rispettivamente al cinema di genere, a Sylvester Stallone e ai mostri) e l'ambientazione per un gioco di ruolo chiamato One More Quest, in uscita per la milanese Horrible Guild.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Edward Drinker Cope (July 28, 1840 – April 12, 1897) was an American zoologist, paleontologist, comparative anatomist, herpetologist, and ichthyologist. Born to a wealthy Quaker family, Cope distinguished himself as a child prodigy interested in science; he published his first scientific paper at the age of 19. Though his father tried to raise Cope as a gentleman farmer, he eventually acquiesced to his son's scientific aspirations. Cope married his cousin and had one child; the family moved from Philadelphia to Haddonfield, New Jersey, although Cope would maintain a residence and museum in Philadelphia in his later years.

Otherwise known as the biggest dick measuring contest of all time (according to Rosie), this is Just The Gist of two of the first men to discover dinosaur bones back in the 1800s. So many fossils and dinosaurs were being discovered at the time that they called it 'The Great Dinosaur Rush', because every time you discovered a new dinosaur, you got to name it and go down in the history books as the OFFICIAL CLEVER MAN WHO FOUND THIS DINOSAUR. But did Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh play fair in this rush to discover new dinosaurs? Of course they didn't! They let their egos get in the way, and in the race to be the bestest, most importantist dino digger, they actually started DESTROYING fossils just so the other guy couldn't find them.

I have a bone to pick with you! De to palæontologer Edward Drinker Cope og Othniel Charles Marsh var kun enige om to ting: De elskede dinosaurer og hadede hinanden. Under USA's "Dinosaur Rush" indledte de to herrer en intens rivalisering, der blev enden på både deres ry, karrierer og fag. Med tiden udviklede det sig til en regulær krig, hvor begge konstant forsøgte at overgå hinanden i kampen om at blive USA's knoglekonge. Blandt andet ved hjælp af både fusk, trusler og vold. Nu starter den vilde dinosaur-jagt! Afsnittet er optaget live på Odd Fellow Palæet i Odense d. 31. oktober 2020.

Sabrina explains the Bone Wars in incredible depth. The Bone Wars refers to the period between the 1870s and 1890s, where two paleontologists, Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope, had a rivalry that eventually ruined them but also made dinosaurs mainstream.Some of the dinosaurs they named were Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, Camarasaurus, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Coelophysis, Diplodocus, Dryosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and our dinosaur of the day Hesperornis.Hesperornis is a penguin-like dinosaur with teeth and strange lobed feet.Some of the resources we used include:The Bonehunter’s Revenge by David Rains WallaceThe Dinosaur Hunters by Deborah CadburyThe Gilded Dinosaur by Mark JaffeThe Life of a Fossil Hunter by Charles SternbergThe Bone Hunters by Url LanhamBone Sharps, Cowboys & Thunder Lizards by Jim OttavianiFor links to more resources, all of the details we shared about Hesperornis, and our fun fact check out https://iknowdino.com/Hesperornis-Episode-250/To get access to lots of patron only content check out https://www.patreon.com/iknowdino
Learn about Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh and the war that ensued between them as the two paleontologists as they stopped at nothing to discover the most fossils.
Bet you didn’t know competitive fossil hunting was a thing, but it was and we’re talking about it on History in a Hurry! In one corner: paleontologist and scientist OC Marsh. In the other: paleontologist and scientist Edward Drinker Cope. Although their discoveries in the American West forever changed science and solidified the Theory of Evolution, the rivalry between the two men grew to far-too-epic proportions.
It was the late 1800s, and paleontology was just getting started in the Americas. Two prolific and passionate scientists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, among the earliest prominent fossil researchers on the continent, struck up a legendary rivalry. Their battles took place in the field and in the literature, and over three decades they engaged in some of the nastiest and most petulant quarreling in scientific history. This infamous era in early paleontology became known as The Bone Wars. In the news: an egg in an ancient bird, a new mastodon, a giant T. rex, and the day the Cretaceous ended.

Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope were paleontologists who made amazing advances in a golden ago of fossil discoveries in America near the end of the 19th century. But their competition between each other left a dark mark on the field of paleontology and left both men broke and broken by the ends of their lives. This is the story of the Bone Wars.
Seen the documentary Jurassic Park? Think you know dinosaurs? Well, Edward Drink Cope sure doesn't... Even though he discovered a whole bunch of 'em. This dangus started a Bone War that shook the field of paleontology for centuries.
The end of the Civil War opened a new era of fossil hunting in the American West -- and a bitter feud between two rival paleontologists, who spent 20 years sabotaging one another in a constant struggle for supremacy. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Bone Wars, the greatest scientific feud of the 19th century. We'll also sympathize with Scunthorpe and puzzle over why a driver can't drive. Intro: Nepal's constitution contains instructions for drawing its flag.

Lost in Science Summer series: We hear from speakers at Laborastory, a monthly event in Melbourne where people share stories of their science heroes and science villainsThis week we hear from Alanta Colley about the good and evil ways of birth control pioneer Marie Stopes; while Dani Measday digs up the dirt on the long running and melodramatic rivalry between palaeontologists Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope
In the mid-1870s two of the most prominent paleontologists in the world, Edward Drinker Cope and O.C. Marsh, waged an epic and often ridiculous war against one another. This is the bizarre true story of The Bone Wars....
En Ágora Historia 132 tenemos los siguientes contenidos: - El primer tema nos lleva al Imperio Romano. Conoceremos varios aspectos del día y cuáles eran algunos de sus destinos favoritos en las vacaciones. De todo esto nos hablará el arqueólogo Jorge García Sánchez. - En segundo lugar recibimos una día más a Jesús García Barcala que nos habla de la conocida como "Guerra de los huesos". Los paleontólogos Othniel Charles Marsh y Edward Drinker Cope fueron sus protagonistas. - Otro de los temas nos lleva a conocer el golpe de estado en España que tuvo lugar el 23 F. Les hablamos de un novedoso documental que trata la figura del cámara que registró las imágenes en el Congreso de los Diputados durante el asalto. - Y el cuarto gran tema nos transporta hasta el siglo XV y XVI. Fernando Martínez Laínez nos habla de la figura de Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, conocido como "El Gran Capitán" Y como siempre Irene Aguilar nos trae su libro, Gema García Ruipérez las noticias y terminamos con efemérides históricas. www.agorahistoria.com http://www.facebook.com/agorahistoriaprograma Twitter: @agorahistoria
Our summer series comes to an end, with a final classic tale from the science storytelling event, the Laborastory.Museum conservator Dani Measday tells us all about the pioneer palaeontologists Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope, whose bitter, competitive rivalry led to the Great Dinosaur Rush, aka "Bone Wars", of the 19th century.And for something different, we preview an extract from Chris's upcoming podcast with science communicator Michael Patterson on the science of superheroes. They speak to aspiring Mars astronaut Josh Richards about whether travelling to other planets could give you superpowers.
Tracey Logan takes us back to the wild west of America, and looks at the extraordinary feud that came to be known as the Bone Wars. This is a tale of corruption, bribery and sabotage - not by cowboys, but by two palaeontologists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, who would stop at nothing in their race to find new dinosaur fossils. This was the golden age of dinosaur discovery, and their bitter war led to the discovery of some of our most iconic dinosaur species: Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus and Camarasuarus to name a few. What led these two seemingly respectable men of science to behave in such an unseemly way, and what was the legacy of this now infamous feud? Tracey Logan investigates. (Photo: Drawing of Apatosaurus dinosaur, BBC Copyright)
Los primeros fósiles de dinosaurios americanos vieron la luz en 1838, cuando una cuadrilla de jornaleros de un terrateniente llamado John Estaugh Hopkins desenterró unos huesos enormes al extraer marga de un pozo junto a un pequeño afluente del río Copper, en Haddonfield, Nueva Jersey. El dinosaurio recibió el nombre de Hadrosaurus foulkii (“lagarto robusto de Foulke”). El descubrimiento de Hadrosaurus desencadenó una ola de dinomanía en los Estados Unidos que culminó en el último cuarto del siglo XIX con la llamada Guerra de los Huesos, un periodo de intensa búsqueda y descubrimiento de fósiles marcado por la encarnizada rivalidad entre los paleontólogos Edward Drinker Cope, de la Academia de Ciencias Naturales de Filadelfia, y Othniel Charles Marsh, del Museo Peabody de Historia Natural de Yale.
In Part 2 of this podcast, we examine the tactics rival paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh used in their battle to achieve preeminence. Ultimately, the men took their war to D.C. and the press. In the end, did either win? Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
In this two-part podcast, we explore the rivalry between paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. Marsh was a farmer's son and Cope grew up in a wealthy household.
