Hadrosaurs--also known as duck-billed dinosaurs--are abundant in
the fossil record. With their unique complex jaws and teeth
perfectly suited to shred and chew plants, they flourished on Earth
in remarkable diversity during the Late Cretaceous. So ubiquitous
are their remains that we have learned more about dinosaurian
paleobiology and paleoecology from hadrosaurs than we have from any
other group. In recent years, hadrosaurs have been in the
spotlight. Researchers around the world have been studying new
specimens and new taxa seeking to expand and clarify our knowledge
of these marvelous beasts. This volume presents the results of an
international symposium on hadrosaurs, sponsored by the Royal
Tyrrell Museum and the Royal Ontario Museum, where scientists and
students gathered to share their research and their passion for
duck-billed dinosaurs. A uniquely comprehensive treatment of
hadrosaurs, the book encompasses not only the well-known
hadrosaurids proper, but also Hadrosaouroidea, allowing the former
group to be evaluated in a broader perspective. The 36 chapters are
divided into six sections--an overview, new insights into hadrosaur
origins, hadrosaurid anatomy and variation, biogeography and
biostratigraphy, function and growth, and preservation, tracks, and
traces--followed by an afterword by Jack Horner.
