Coggeshall would go on to become the director of the Illinois State Museum (1930-37) and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History (1937-58). Visit the Coggeshall Bowl the next time you are in Santa Barbara!

L.S. Coggeshall preparing a fossil specimen collected by Earl Douglass's team from the Carnegie in 1922. Originally described by Charles Gilmore in 1925 as Camptosaurus medius, the specimen's classification has been revised twice: first to Camptosaurus aphanoecetes, and then to Uteodon aphanoecetes.
