You've all heard of her! Now, let's hear what your five favorite paleontologists have to say about one of the most famous dinosaurs of all Stegosaurus, the "roofed lizard". Stegosaurus was first discovered during the infamous Bone Wars, when Cope and Marsh duked it out in a contest to find and name as many extinct fossil animals as they could. Most of the famous dinosaurs were discovered during this period, including Brontosaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, and Triceratops. And Stegosaurus wasn't only discovered once it has many species, many of which were found and named in one decade of the nineteenth century.
