	Walking with Dinosaurs - Fact File: Muttaburrasaurus
		Muttaburrasaurus is known from one partial skeleton found at Muttaburra, Queensland, Australia.
		Muttaburrasaurus was very similar to Iguanodon, being a large four-legged herbivore that was capable of rearing onto two legs.
		Muttaburrasaurus also had an enlarged hollow upward-bulging muzzle, that might have been used to produce distinctive calls or for display purposes.

	Muttaburrasaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Muttaburrasaurus was a herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur related to Camptosaurus and Iguanodon, from the early Cretaceous Period of what is now northeastern Australia.
		Muttaburrasaurus was capable of either (bipedal) or (quadrupedal) movement.

		Description: Muttaburrasaurus was a large plant-eating dinosaur that lived in the open woodlands, probably travelling in herds.
		Muttaburrasaurus was once thought to have been an iguanodontid (dinosaurs with sharp spikes on their thumbs).
		Muttaburrasaurus is one of the most complete fossilised dinosaurs found in Australia - only Minmi is more complete.

		Muttaburrasaurus was first found on Rosebury Downs station beside the Thompson river near the town of Muttaburra in Queensland, Australia, in 1963.
		Although Muttaburrasaurus seems to be neither iguanodontid nor a hadrosaur, it may represent a line of ornithopods that diverged from the iguanodont-hadrosaur line sometime before the divergence of Tenontosaurus.

		Muttaburrasaurus was most probably quadrupedal, with a broad low skull bearing a remarkable hollow chamber on the snout, reminiscent of Altirhinus (iguanodont) and Kritosaurus (hadrosaurid).
		If Muttaburrasaurus and related forms are tenontosaurs then the two lineages, geographically isolated, followed very different evolutionary paths, although both paralleled the contemporary camptosaurids and iguanodontids, and doubtless fulfilled a similar ecological role.
		Although the tenontosaurids are similar in overall size, and in skull proportions, to the iguanodontids, the structure and arrangement of the teeth could place them among the Hypsilophodontidae.

		Fortunately it is located at a point experts consider to be the edge of Australia's ancient inland sea and consequently there have been a number of important fossils found in the area.
		Undoubtedly the most important discovery was that of Muttaburrasaurus which is displayed prominently in a building in the centre of town.
		Large marine reptiles called Icthyosaurus and Plesiosaurs swam in the inland sea while on land dinosaurs such as Muttaburrasaurus and the long necked Austrosaurus browsed on the vegetation amongst conifers, cycads and ferns.

		It was a sizable 7 metres from snout to tail.
		There is some disagreement among scientists about whether Muttaburrasaurus was strictly a plant-eater.It has the typical beak of a plant eater, but its back teeth are more suitable for slicing or shearing things than grinding them up.
		The back of its skull is larger than in similar dinosaurs and had more muscle, indicating that Muttaburrasaurus had an incredibly strong bite useful for chomping on the toughest plants.

		The exact relationships of Muttaburrasaurus are unclear, although it appears to be a basal ornithopod more derived than Tenontosaurus.
		It is not known whether Muttaburrasaurus had thumb spurs, indeed its original classification as an iguanodont is in doubt.
		On the other hand, if Muttaburrasaurus lacked a thumb spur then it may have relied on its large size and strong bite as its main defenses if cornered by a predator or a rival muttaburrasaur.

		The spike thumbs and bulbous lump atop the snout seem to be characteristic of Muttabuarrasaurus.

		Although not particularly histrionic in pose, the Invicta figure is suitably menacing, and molded in a suitably menacing color.

		Tenontosaurus is sometimes considered a basal Iguanodontian; Muttaburrasaurus is variously considered a basal Iguanodontian, a specialised Hypsilophodont, Camptosaurid, or an Iguanodontid.
		It is based on the assumption that first Muttaburrasaurus is a hypsilophodont, and secondary, that the large Muttaburrasaurus and the small Atlascopcosaurus are related.
		Muttaburrasaurus was most probably quadrapedal, witha broad low skull bearing a remarkable hollow chamber on the snout, remiscent of Altirhinus (Iguanodont) and Kritosaurus (Hadrosaurid).
