Megalonyx Taxonomy
In 1796, Colonel John Stuart sent Thomas Jefferson, shortly before he took office as Vice President of the United States, some fossil bones: a femur fragment, ulna, radius, and foot bones including three large claws. The discoveries were made in a cave in Greenbrier County, Virginia (presently West Virginia). Jefferson examined the bones and presented his observations in the paper "A Memoir on the Discovery of Certain Bones of a Quadruped of the Clawed Kind in the Western Parts of Virginia" to the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia on March 10, 1797.[1][4] The paper was published in 1799, in the same volume as an accompanying paper by his colleague Caspar Wistar, who provided detailed anatomical information about the bones, and illustrated them.[5] Together these two papers are considered the first North American publications devoted to paleontology.
