TITAN-BEASTS
The Titan-Beasts, or Titanotheres (Greek, meaning exactly the same thing) were big creatures, requiring plenty of legroom. It is appropriate therefore that our first knowledge of them came from the great open spaces of the American West—the plains and mountain plateaus of Wyoming, Dakota, and Nebraska. From these regions came first fragmentary bits of massive bones—some of the first pieces nearly 100 years ago. Later, museum expeditions began excavating whole bones, and more-or-less complete skulls, and considerable parts of skeletons.
