總總這些科學(xué)家的結(jié)局各不相同:歐文于1892年去世,比柯普或馬什早幾年。巴克蘭最后精神失常,成了個(gè)話都說(shuō)不清的廢人,在克萊翰的一家精神病院里度過了最后的歲月,恰好就在離造成曼特爾終生殘疾的出事地點(diǎn)不太遠(yuǎn)的地方。曼特爾那變了形的脊椎在二戰(zhàn)快結(jié)束時(shí)失蹤。而他的藏品被兒子沃爾特帶到了新西蘭保存,現(xiàn)捐獻(xiàn)給新西蘭博物館~~~

As for the other players in this drama, Owen died in 1892, a few years before Cope or Marsh. Buckland [-1-] by losing his mind and finished his days a gibbering wreck in a lunatic asylum in Clapham, not far from where Mantell had suffered his crippling accident. [---2---] What remained of Mantell's collection after his death passed on to his children, and much of it was taken to New Zealand by his son Walter, who [-3-] there in 1840. Walter became a distinguished Kiwi, eventually attaining the office of Minister of Native Affairs.

ended up Mantell's twisted spine remained on display at the Hunterian Museum for nearly a century before being mercifully obliterated by a German bomb in the Blitz. emigrated In 1865 he donated the prime specimens from his father's collection, including the famous iguanodon tooth, to the Colonial Museum, now the Museum of New Zealand, in Wellington, where they have remained ever since. arguably is no longer on display
至于這個(gè)舞臺(tái)上的其他人物,歐文于1892年去世,比柯普或馬什早幾年。巴克蘭最后精神失常,成了個(gè)話都說(shuō)不清的廢人,在克萊翰的一家精神病院里度過了最后的歲月,恰好就在離造成曼特爾終生殘疾的出事地點(diǎn)不太遠(yuǎn)的地方。曼特爾那變了形的脊椎在亨特博物館展出了將近一個(gè)世紀(jì),后來(lái)在二戰(zhàn)快結(jié)束時(shí)突襲倫敦的閃電戰(zhàn)中大慈大悲地被一枚炸彈擊中,不見了蹤影。曼特爾死后,剩下的收藏品傳給了他的子女,其中許多被他的兒子沃爾特帶到了新西蘭,他于1840年移居到那個(gè)國(guó)家。沃爾特成為一名杰出的新西蘭人,最后官至土著居民事務(wù)部部長(zhǎng)。1865年,他把他父親收藏品中的主要標(biāo)本,包括那顆著名的禽龍牙齒,捐贈(zèng)給了惠靈頓的殖民博物館(就是現(xiàn)在的新西蘭博物館),此后一直存放在那里。而那顆引發(fā)這一切的禽龍牙齒--很可能是古生物學(xué)里最重要的牙齒--現(xiàn)在不再對(duì)外展出。
