"Palæontological Report of the Princeton Scientific Expedition of 1877" by Henry F. Osborn, William B. Scott, and Francis Speir, Jr. is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work reports on the findings from a geological expedition conducted by Princeton College, detailing the collection and classification of various fossil specimens, primarily from the eastern part of the United States. Its primary focus is on the fossils of plants and
vertebrates collected during the expedition, including newly identified species. The opening of the report begins with a formal acknowledgment of the contributions made by various members of the palæontological division during their fieldwork in Colorado and Wyoming. The authors detail their expedition objectives, including the exploration of specific geological formations and the cataloging of significant fossil specimens. They emphasize the importance of their findings in enriching the geological museum and advancing the study of paleontology at Princeton College, while also expressing gratitude to those who aided in their research. Additionally, the introductory section hints at the geological significance of the Bridger Basin, setting the stage for a detailed analysis of the fossils discovered and their implications in the field.
