96 Plated Dinosaurs 



saurians in shore, drifted out to sea. The other 

 individual was a duck-billed dinosaur called by 

 Professor Leidy, Hadrosaurus; but later Prof. 

 Marsh identified it as belonging to his genus 

 Claosaurus of the Lance Beds of Wyoming. As 

 far as I know no other specimen of dinosaurs 

 have been found in the chalk of Kansas. Strange 

 indeed then that we find enough of the skeleton 

 of a dinosaur for identification. Separated from 

 the dinosaur beds of Wyoming by at least 10,000 

 feet of strata and in time a couple of million 

 years at least, showing that we do not as yet 

 know the time and space occupied by dinosaurs 

 on this continent. 



Later still in the Belly River Beds of the Dead 

 Lodge Canyon, in 1914, George found the skele- 

 ton of a similar species. Mr. Lambe gives it the 

 name of Euoploceplialus; no complete skeleton 

 have been found of this strange dinosaur except 

 in the Belly River Series, though a fine skull and 

 other bones were found by Brown, in the Edmon- 

 ton beds of the Red Deer river, similar to his 

 Lance Creek genus in Montana. Last year, 1915, 

 both Charlie and I found some fine material near 

 the mouth of Dead Lodge Canyon and at Love- 

 land Ferry twelve miles below. As already men- 

 tioned, George found the best specimen we have 

 obtained. From all three (and the tail club I 

 secured in 1914), we get a very good idea of this 

 peculiar reptile. One thing I learned from the 

 specimen is, that the plates are not co-ossified as
