Resumen

No final da década de 1860, Edward Drinker Cope (1840-1897) e Othniel Charles Marsh (1831-1899) mantiveram uma relação cordial, trocando correspondências, fósseis, descrevendo espécies como Pytionius marshii e Mosasaurus copeanus entretanto, Cope é reconhecido pela disputa de relatos de fósseis com Marsh no episódio conhecido como Bone Wars (Guerra dos Ossos), uma rivalidade entre 1870 e 1892 surgida entre eles no Oeste dos Estados Unidos da América; por causa dessa competição, novas espécies de fósseis foram achadas, favorecendo o interesse pela paleontologia pelo público em geral. Cope e Marsh mantiveram relações amistosas até o final da década de 1860, porém não há consenso quanto ao início da animosidade entre eles várias razões são apresentadas como justificativa, entre elas uma diz respeito à reconstrução equivocada de réptil marinho, o Elasmosaurus platyurus feita por Cope e criticada por Marsh. Cope mostrou interesse por grupos de animais desde serpentes até cetáceos, buscando explicar por meio de uma “força de desenvolvimento” a evolução nos seres vivos.
