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. Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

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.

Hace siglo y medio, en 1870, el geólogo estadounidense Benjamin Franklin Mudge descubrió en Kansas los restos fósiles de un ave con dientes. En 1872, envió los restos a Othniel Charles Marsh. Sin embargo, Marsh no reconoció de primeras la importancia del fósil, puesto que creyó que las mandíbulas dentadas no pertenecían al ave, sino a una nueva especie de reptil marino, al que llamó Colonosaurus mudgei en honor de su descubridor. El ave recibió el nombre de Ichthyornis, “ave-pez”, debido a la semejanza de sus vértebras cóncavas con las de los peces. En 1873, al extraer los fósiles de la roca, Marsh reconoció su error. Ichthyornis se convirtió en la primera ave fósil con dientes conocida, lo que reforzó la teoría de la evolución de Darwin, y la hipótesis de la relación evolutiva entre las aves y los reptiles.

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.

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.

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.

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

It’s time to learn about some more dinosaurs, ceratopsids, including the well-known Triceratops! Triceratops: An artist’s frankly awesome rendition of Sinoceratops. I love it: A Kosmoceratops skull: Pachyrhinosaurus had a massive snoot: Protoceratops: Fighting dinos! Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. Back in episode 107, about ankylosaurus and stegosaurus, I mentioned that one day I’d do an episode all about triceratops and its relations. Well, that day is today. It’s the ceratopsid episode! Ceratopsids are a family of dinosaurs with elaborate horns on their faces and frills on the back of their heads. They almost all lived in what is now North America and most of them lived in the late Cretaceous. Triceratops is the most well known, so we’ll start with it. The name triceratops, of course, means three face horns, and it did indeed have three face horns. It had one on its nose and two on its brow, plus a frill that projected from the back of its skull. Triceratops was a big animal, around 10 feet high at the shoulder, or 3 meters, and about 30 feet long, or 9 meters. Its body was bulky and heavy, sort of like a rhinoceros but, you know, even bigger and more terrifying. Like the rhinoceros, triceratops was a herbivore. It had a horny beak something like a turtle’s that it probably used to grab plant material, and it had some 40 teeth on each side of the jaw. These teeth were replaced every so often as the old ones wore down, sort of like crocodilians do. Back when triceratops lived, around 68 million years ago, grass hadn’t developed yet. There were prairies in parts of western North America the same way there are today, but instead of grass, the prairies were covered in ferns. Many researchers think triceratops mostly ate ferns, grazing on them the same way bison graze on grass today. In fact, the first paleontologist to study a triceratops fossil thought it was an extinct type of bison. This was a man called Othniel Charles Marsh. To his credit, Marsh only had a little piece of a triceratops skull to examine, the piece with the brow horns. And since the brow horns of a triceratops do look a little like the horn cores of a bovid, and since this was 1887 before a lot was known about dinosaurs, and since the fossil was found in Colorado where the buffalo roam, it’s understandable that Marsh would have assumed he was looking at a gigantic fossil bison skull. He figured it out the following year after examining another skull with the nose horn intact, since bovids are not known for their nose horns, and he naturally named it Triceratops. It’s tempting to assume that Triceratops was a herd animal, but we don’t have any evidence that it lived in groups. It was common and we have lots of fossil triceratops, especially the thick-boned skulls, but it seems to have mostly been a solitary animal. It’s pretty obvious that the triceratops’ horns must have been for defense. It lived at the same time as Tyrannosaurus rex, which preyed on triceratops often enough that we have a lot of Triceratops fossils with T rex tooth marks in the bones. We also have some triceratops fossils with T rex tooth marks in the bones that show signs of healing, indicating that the triceratops successfully fended off the T rex and lived. But what was the frill for? Researchers have been trying to figure this out for years. There were a lot of different ceratopsid species, many of which may have overlapped in range and lived at the same time, so some researchers suggest the frill’s size and shape may have helped individuals find mates of the same species. Triceratops has a rather plain frill compared to many ceratopsid species, which had frills decorated with points, spikes, scalloped edges, lobes, and other ornaments. But the ornamental elements of the frills change rapidly through the generations,

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.

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.

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.
