| Hadrosaur |
HA dro SORE |
  |
| This juvenile duck-billed
dinosaur is a primitive hadrosaur and one of the
oldest known examples in the world. This fossil
is unusual because it was found in rocks that
were deposited on an ancient seafloor. The dinosaur
was named Lizzie after the daughter of
Virginia May who discovered the bones in 1994
in the Talkeetna Mountains. A bone map of Lizzie
is found on the main Alaskan Dinosaurs and Marine
Reptiles page. The darkened bones have been identified
to date. (Age: Turonian) |
