Photo of Lety and the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy standing in front of a mastodon museum exhibit under warm, indoor lighting. From top to bottom, Lety is shown wearing a short, white, long-sleeve dress with red floral print and brown sandals. Her body is roughly facing the camera, the Creature in her arms, as she turns her and the Creature back towards her left to look up at the massive fossilized skeleton of an American mastodon. On the floor between Lety and the skeleton is an exhibit sign reading “American mastodon”, “(Mammut americanum)”, “2 million to 10,000 years ago”, with a map showing the species' historical range across North America and some other out-of-focus text. In the background are several other museum visitors viewing smaller fossil displays in glass cases along a back wall.

I searched for "Stegosaurus" and got _Osteology of the Armored Dinosauria_ by Charles Whitney Gilmore , 1914

A link to the internet archive copy, bc reasons:
https://archive.org/details/osteologyofarmor00gilm/page/n6/mode/2up

I think this volume is still referenced by paleontologists working on stegosaurs today; see for example the description of Miragaia

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2674496/pdf/rspb20081909.pdf

and search for Gilmore

A teaser for our book, THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, written by Dr Dean Lomax, illustrated in colour by me, & published by Columbia University Press.

Each chapter helps to reveal a unique narrative of the grand cycle of life, based on extraordinary evidence of behaviours written in the rocks.

Out September 2025. Pre-order now!
