E. Taylor. The animal pictured had originally been described as a dinosaur. This was changed to Mylodon following advice from a researcher. Source: Owen, Richard. 'Description of the skeleton of an extinct gigantic sloth', London: R. and J. E. Taylor, 1842. Title supplied by Library. Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Pencil drawing on page 290 x 237 mm. Processing information: Title and scope and contents changed August 2022 following information from a researcher.
