Quote: "Wistar failed completely to recognize the bone's significance and merely made a few cautious and uninspired remarks to the effect that it was indeed a whopper. He thus missed the chance, half a century ahead of anyone else, to be the discoverer of dinosaurs. Indeed, the bone excited so little intrest that it was put in a store room and eventually dissaperared altogether. So the first dinosour bone ever found was also the first to be lost."
Question: Who discovered the first dinosaur? What made them think of this creature called the dinosaur? How do they know they assembeled them in the correct way the first time?
Comment: I think its ironic that he found this bone and didn't even look into finding out what it was! He just pushed it aside and went on with his life, when really he could have made this biggest discovery in his career.
