Osteology of the Armored Dinosauria in the United States National Museum

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Osteology of the Armored Dinosauria in the United States National Museum: With Special Reference, to the Genus Stegosaurus The greater part of the) early work in the preparation of 'these fossils was done by Mr. N. H. Boss and myself, but that of later years has been carried on by Messrs. N. H. Boss, C. V. Bressler, and G. B. Giles, and I can not too highly commend the diligence, patience, and skill employed by them in extracting these fossils, often of a delicate nature, from a most refractory matrix.
