Guest Room Arthur Lakes Pictures
In 1877, Geologist Arthur Lakes made a truly monumental discovery. While hiking on the Dakota Hogback east of Morrison, Colorado, he stumbled across a large prehistoric bone bed. Working as an agent for Yale paleontologist O.C. Marsh, Lakes went on to unearth some of the most famous dinosaurs. He uncovered the remains of Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus on what is now known as Dinosaur Ridge. An amateur artist, Lakes went through great pains to record his various expeditions for Marsh. These reproductions of his watercolors are reprinted with permission from the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History in New Haven, Connecticut.
