 Edmontosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edmontosaurus (ed-MON-toh-sawr-us) meaning "Edmonton's lizard" (Greek sauros = lizard) was a hadrosaurid dinosaur genus from the Maastrichtian, the last stage of the Cretaceous period, 71-65 million years ago.
Edmontosaurus was erected by Lawrence M. Lambe in 1917 from a find in the Edmonton Rock Formation, Alberta, using E.
Edmontosaurus was bipedal but could certainly have walked on four legs.

 Edmontosaurus- Enchanted Learning Software
Edmontosaurus was a slow-moving dinosaur with few defenses, but may have had keen senses (eyesight, hearing, and smell) to help it avoid predators in its swampy habitat.
Edmontosaurus was an ornithopod, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was midway among the dinosaurs.
Edmontosaurus herds may have migrated thousands of miles seasonally, traveling from the North Slope of Alaska (which would have been dark for months at a time during winter, making plants scarce) to Alberta, Canada (which was rich in green plants during winter).

Recent statistical surveys indicate that Edmontosaurus was particularly abundant in the damp lowlands near the shore of the inland sea.
Edmontosaurus remains were first discovered in 1912 along the Red Deer River valley west of Munson.

Edmontosaurus is one of the most common dinosaurs found in North America.
It is often referred to s the cow of the Cretaceous and occurs in almost any locality dating from the latest Cretaceous.
Ranging in sizes up to almost 40 feet this could be a large dinosaur and some skulls measure nearly 2 feet long with almost 2000 teeth within the jaws.

 Hadrosaurian Dinosaurs
Edmontosaurus is from the same subfamily (Hadrosaurinae) as Maiasaura.
One of the unique features of Edmontosaurus are the cross-bracing tendons in the tail, seen in the picture at left, that helped make the tail stiff and supporting.
The tail was nearly impossible to bend, suggesting that it was not used as a paddle for swimming, as was once thought.

 Oxford University Museum of Natural History Edmontosaurus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Edmontosaurus belongs to the group of herbivorous dinosaurs known as duck-bills, because of the distinctive toothless, beak-like snout to the skull.
Evidently the duck-bills were social animals, migrating in vast herds along the western shore of the great seaway that extended from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico during late Cretaceous time.
Bones of Edmontosaurus have been found in droppings of Tyrannosaurus rex, which probably followed the migrating herds, feeding on the young, weak, dying and dead.

 Anatosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, "Anatosaurus" has been found to be a junior synonym of Edmontosaurus and is now an invalid name and named by Lull and Wright, 1942.
Some specimens, such as the famous mount in the New York American Museum of Natural History, differ from Edmontosaurus and have been placed in the new genus Anatotitan.
As a common name, anatosaurus can refer to any dinosaur in the genera Anatotitan and Edmontosaurus.

Raptors were another inhabitant of this same geographic region, and a contemporary of Tyrannosaurus rex, Edmontosaurus, as well as Triceratops.
If these smaller but obviously carnivorous predators attacked in groups or packs, as is theorized, they most certainly could have brought down and killed any of these larger dinosaurs.
Cast replicas of the skulls, foot assemblies, and dentaries of the Edmontosaurus annectens are also available as individual exhibits and are especially suited for children's museums and display areas.

 Creation Expeditions Team Discovery
Evolutionists theorize that the Edmontosaurus died millions of years ago, and some have recently speculated that this was a partially feathered type of dinosaur which eventually evolved into modern birds.
Believed to be an herbivore, the duckbilled Edmontosaurus has teeth which form a large grooved surface, well-suited for grinding plants in a manner similar to modern cows and horses.
The Edmontosaurus discovery comes less than a year after the release of the Vision Forum film Raising the Allosaur, which documents the story of the successful 2002 home school expedition with the DeRosas to locate the world’s fourth complete Allosaurus skull.

 hadrosaurinae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Possibly the largest known ornithopod at around fifty feet (15 meters) in length and several tons in weight for an average adult, this animal is based on nearly complete skeletal remains from five individuals, which are said to differ from Edmontosaurus regalis mainly in size-related details, and so could be a species of Edmontosaurus.
With Triceratops, Edmontosaurus dominated the dinosaurian herbivores at the end of the Cretaceous in western North America.
A skeleton bearing small theropod nibbling about the jaws, indicating a survived attack on the neck, is known, and Edmontosaurus in general appears to have taken a fair amount of abuse from theropods (see for example a tail bitten by a tyrannosaurid and later healed).

 Trachodon, Anatosaurus, Edmontosaurus or Anatotitan?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Since Edmontosaurus had been created by Lawrence Lambe in 1917, it had priority over Lull and Wright's Anatosaurus, and Brett-Surman sank Anatosaurus as a junior synonym in 1979 or thereabouts (actually, first in his unpublished M.Sc.
He kept the species separate from the type species of Edmontosaurus, as Edmontosaurus annectens (actually, since I was already corresponding with Mike at the time, I'm the first to have published the combination Edmontosaurus annectens, in Mesozoic Meanderings #1, 1978, but I did it with his blessing and with reference to his dissertation).
But Anatosaurus copei was a different story: it was too different from Anatosaurus (=Edmontosaurus) to remain in that genus.
