About this piece

The lower jaw and teeth of Tinoceras pugnax, an extinct horned herbivorous mammal of the Eocene, an original lithograph from Othniel Charles Marsh's monograph on the Dinocerata, volume 10 of the Monographs of the United States Geological Survey, published in 1886. The sheet is printed in gray-black on cream paper and lettered "Plate XIX" at the upper right and "Tinoceras pugnax, Marsh" below the image.

Three figures share the page. At the bottom is the lower jaw in side view, with the tall rising process at the back and a row of molars; above it the tooth row is shown in side view, and at the top the crowns are drawn from above to show the folded pattern of their grinding surfaces. Small letters and numbers mark the features named in Marsh's text.

The drawing is signed F. Berger, del., and the lithographer is named as E. Crisand, Lith., New Haven. Marsh's monograph was among the most ambitious illustrated works of its kind produced in America in the nineteenth century.
