Title
Agathaumas (Monoclonius), painting by Charles R. Knight
Description
The fossil remains of Agathaumas were first found in 1872 in the Laramie Formation of southwestern Wyoming during Hayden's Geological Survey of the Territories. The discoverers notified paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope of the find, who found more remains in that area. Cope named the animal Agathaumas sylvestris (marvelous forest-dweller) in reference to its great size and the environment revealed in the same rocks as its bones. He published a description of it in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical society, v. 12, 1872 (p. 481-483). On label mounted on verso of painting: K:AM 189702. AMNH negative no. 322527; 4x5 slide no. 2419; 35mm slide no. 2419.
