biologist Loren Eiseley (1907-1977) once
wrote an essay about Cope, whose skull he had carefully rescued and
treasured. Eiseley expressed his desire to have the skull buried with him.

Does anyone know whether Eiseley's wishes were carried out?

Robert,

May I refer you to the book *The Bonehunter's Revenge* by David Rains
Wallace, published by Houghton Mifflin (hardcover) 1999. Chapter 20 includes
the story of Cope's skeleton after death. On page 292 it states that his
wishes were not carried out.


Thanks,

Jim Hower
