If I were going to pen such an article I would first learn that the fossils Mary Anning used to sell in order to survive were not, in fact, dinosaurs.

I would also have first learnt that just because this has happened in the past doesn't de facto mean it isn't wrong in the here and now.

I searched for "Stegosaurus" and got _Osteology of the Armored Dinosauria_ by Charles Whitney Gilmore , 1914

A link to the internet archive copy, bc reasons:
archive.org/details/osteologyo

I think this volume is still referenced by paleontologists working on stegosaurs today; see for example the description of Miragaia

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/

and search for Gilmore

EurekAlert!Deep dive into the ‘mighty bite’ of mysterious ancient fishPredatory fish that evolved into the first terrestrial animals on Earth are still revealing insights into the origins of mammals – including new research into the eating habits of lobe-finned fish which inhabited an ancient reef in northern Australia. In new research in iScience journal, an international study led by Flinders University reveals new insights into the lives of 380-million-year-old lungfish after a high-tech examination of ‘remarkable’ well-preserved jawbones found in the remote Gogo fossil field in northern Western Australia.

Fossils found in Japan have revealed that squids evolved 50 million years earlier than previously thought. It is hard to learn about cephalopods as they have soft bodies which don't fossilise very well. But using grinding tomography more has been learned, including the fact that they dominated the ancient seas.
