About this piece

Vertebrae of Dinoceras laticeps, an extinct horned herbivorous mammal, in 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, with the plate number in Roman numerals at the upper right and the lettering "Dinoceras laticeps, Marsh" below the image.

The title given for this piece refers to a lower jaw, but the sheet itself shows backbone elements: several vertebrae drawn in side view at the top, then larger views from the side, from the front and from below, with their numbered figures and letter references. The wide transverse processes of the vertebrae are drawn in outline from the end, giving a sense of the animal's heavy build.

The artist is named at the lower left, F. Berger, del., and the lithographer, E. Crisand of New Haven, at the lower right.
