Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
COPE, EDWARD DRINKER (1840-1897) , American palaeontologist, descended from a Wiltshire family who emigrated about 1687, was born in Philadelphia on the 28th of July 184o. At an early age he became interested in natural history, and in 1859 communicated a
paper
  on the Salamandridae to the
Academy
  of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia. He was educated partly in the University of
Pennsylvania
 , and after further study and travel in Europe was in 1865 appointed curator to the
Academy
  of Natural Sciences, a post which he held till 1873. In 186467 he was professor of natural science in Haverford College, and in 1889 he was appointed professor of geology and palaeontology in the University of
Pennsylvania
 . To the study of the American fossil vertebrata he gave his
special
  attention. From 1871 to 1877 he carried on explorations in the Cretaceous strata of Kansas, the Tertiary of
Wyoming
  and Colorado; and in course of time he made known at least 6oc species and many genera of
extinct
  vertebrata new to science. Among these were some of the oldest known
mammalia
 , obtained in New
Mexico
 . He served on the U.S. Geological Survey in 1874 in New
Mexico
 , in 1875 in Montana, and in 1877 in Oregon and
Texas
 . He was also one of the editors of the American Naturalist. He died in Philadelphia on the 12th of April 1897.
