A good scan of Riggs’s (1904) Brachiosaurus monograph
As all good SV-POW! regulars will know, Elmer S. Riggs published the name Brachiosaurus altothorax in a short (but not trival) 1903 paper (Riggs 1903) and followed it up with a proper descriptive monograph (Riggs 1904) that had several useful plates. I’ve never seen a real copy of the latter (or indeed the former), so for the last quarter-century I’ve made do with various low-quality photocopies and scans.
Now, finally, we have Riggs1904-brachiosaurus-altithorax–GOOD-SCAN! which you can download from https://svpow.files.wordpress.com/2023/10/riggs1904-brachiosaurus-altithorax-good-scan.pdf or from a backup copy at http://www.miketaylor.org.uk/tmp/Riggs1904-brachiosaurus-altithorax–GOOD-SCAN.pdf — behold the beauty of Riggs’s plates as he intended them to look!
This scan comes to us courtesy of Katherine Olson at the University of Chicago Library. This is appropriate, as Brachiosaurus is very much a Chicago dinosaur. Many thanks indeed to Katherine!
