The transcript discusses the discovery of the Stegosaurus by Othniel Marsh in 1877, along with the Apatosaurus. Marsh initially thought the Stegosaurus's bone plates were like a roof, leading to its name, which combines Greek words for 'roof' and 'lizard'. The first Stegosaurus fossil was found in Colorado, which led to it being named the state dinosaur. Fossils have also been found in other parts of North America and Portugal.
