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 few days ago, I woke up thinking the last of the stegosaurs had gone extinct about the same time as ants showed up. And so I thought: "hey, I'll make a joke about ants hunting all the stegosaurs to extinction for stegosaur steak, or to grind up all the stegosaur plates for alate energy pills."
But there's a 13 million year overlap. So I didn't make the joke. But maybe ants just waited 13 million years to lull the stegosaurs into a false sense of security.
A random artwork from my gallery:
"Stegosaurus stenops" — 2012
