Learn About Edmontosaurus - North America’s Most Researched Dinosaur

1. Learn About Edmontosaurus - North America’s Most Researched Dinosaur Edmontosaurus got its name from Lawrence Lambe, a famous Canadian geologist, palaeontologist, and ecologist in the year 1917. The name originally given was Edmonton Lizard, which was based upon the partial specimen found in the Edmonton group near Drumheller (Alberta). Thanks to the large presence of edmontosaur numerous fossils preserving soft tissue and skin imprints, edmontosaur is probably the most studied and researched dinosaur in the entire North American region. The most popular bone beds consisting of thousands of edmontosaur bones are Ruth Mason Quarry (South Dakota) and Danek Bone Bed (Alberta). Edmontosaur fossils that protect or preserve the soft tissue are also known as dinosaur mummies, such as the world famous Trachodon mummy. You can find numerous edmontosaurus fossils for sale in various online marketplaces, just make sure to check for the credibility of the store before clicking on that BUY button. From the incredible and fascinating bone beds and specimens that we talked about previously, paleontologists (someone who studies life forms that existed in the previous geologic periods) have solved the puzzle to find a clear picture of this fascinating creature. You now no longer have to to deal with lagging, web-footed, and bad animation animal models. The kind of technologies that we have advanced through at present are completely

2. different and you may call them sophisticated. Right now, you can see everything, right from their color patterns, individual body, their diets, their running speed, nesting behavior, and hunting skills, to name a few. As the numerous studies suggest, edmontosaurus were one of the largest and commonly seen dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous North America. It is categorized into the hadrosaur group, which means it was a duck-billed dinosaur. It is from the solid crested Hadrosaurinae natural group, which replaced the older generation of hollow-crested hadrosaurs that had distinctly looking bony ornaments on their heads. There has been extensive research work going across the world by paleontologists and this has resulted in determining the skull shape changes being a part of the aging process for edmontosaurs. This has now divided the two species into two categories, E. annectens and E. regalis. E. regalis is the older of the two sub-species, which is primarily found in the Horseshoe Canyon of Alberta. These formations originate in the late Campanian stage that is approximately 70 million years ago. It has a shorter but a more strong skull; it is also the larger among the two sub-species. E. annectens in the younger sub-species. It is found in the late Maastrichian formations all across the western North American region, which are about 65 million years old. E. annectens came with an extended and more slender looking skull, which was smaller than the E. regalis.
