About this piece

A set of two original lithograph plates of the lower jaw of Dinoceras laticeps, an extinct horned herbivorous mammal, from Othniel Charles Marsh's monograph on the Dinocerata, volume 10 of the Monographs of the United States Geological Survey, published in 1886. Both plates are printed in gray-black on cream paper with Roman plate numbers (XII and XIII) at the upper right, and lettered "Dinoceras laticeps, Marsh" below the image.

On the first plate the lower jaw is drawn from above, showing the long paired tooth rows, with a view of the upper skull part at the top. On the second the jaw is seen in side view, with the tall rising process at the back, a few molars and the swelling at the chin, with another skull view above. Small letters and numbers refer to the bones and features described in Marsh's text.

The artists are credited at the lower left, and the lithographer, E. Crisand of New Haven, at the lower right.
