The Paleontologist's Scrapbook Cartoons and poems from the dawn of prehistory

New, on Heat Death! While going through some Texan paleontology archives, I stumbled across a scrapbook. The result is a kind of time capsule of early 20th century paleontology pop culture in poems and (mostly) cartoons.
