Jacob Boll Ode to Eryops

Caption

Jacob Boll’s fascination with fossils prompted him to write in his native German an ode to Eryops, a specimen he found for paleontologist Edward D. Cope. The poem is housed at the American Museum of Natural History on a label on the back of Eryops specimen No. AMNH 4183.
