Agassiz met Dinkel in 1828 and they collaborated for more than 20 years, including travels together. Dinkel did illustrations of fish for Agassiz on the early trips.[3] Dinkel also did engraved illustrations of specimens in museum and private collections for Agassiz.[4]

Palaeontologist Richard Owen arranged for a lithograph by Dinkel of an Altispinax specimen.
