jan 1, 1863 - Laelaps
Description:
By Charles R Knight, Laelaps was influential for its remarkably credible depiction of anatomy and movement. Some believe that these predators represent the savagely competitive paleontologists Othniel C Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope, both of whom would blow up dig sites with dynamite to obstruct the other’s discoveries.
