 A sketch of a "Stegosaurus" (based on a drawing by Ray Lydekker) forms an important plot point in the opening chapters of "The Lost World" by Arthur Conan Doyle.In "Tarzan at the Earth's Core", by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jason Gridley encounters a "Stegosaurus" in Pellucidar, the world within the Earth.The animal jumps from a height and uses its plates as a gliding mechanism to chase and attack him; the real animal could not perform such an act.
