paleonet Paleo ePapers on the web

[Mike Everhart <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
Just a short note to announce a new index page at Oceans of Kansas that
may be of some use or, at least, have some historical significance in
the study of paleontology.

I've scanned a number of short papers.... mostly from the 1860s and
1870s... the usual suspects.. Cope, Marsh, Leidy, and others that are
not as well known.

Many of the papers come from the American Journal of Science, the
Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, or
Science. Most are old enough that they may not be readily available to
those without access to a good library. Although this is not "new"
information, it is interesting to see how things were done way back
then. .... a bit humorous at times .. and a couple of big mistakes.....

I tried to preserve the appearance of the original journals wherever
possible. These ePapers are found in HTML format at:

... and so no one is too disappointed, I have to admit that they mostly
concern marine fossils from the Western Interior Sea... although there
is one dinosaur thrown in for good measure :-)  A couple are links to
other sites... 

More will be added as time allows.
