Old Fossils

I find dinosaur fossils fascinating. It's a common trait among many people.

Duck-billed dinosaurs, represented in this section of the gallery, were widespread herbivores.

Maiasaura is a duck billed dinosaur whose name literally means good mother lizard. A change from the early days of paleontology, when dinosaurs were characterized as vicious lizards. Time changes perspectives.

A reproduced nest of maiasaura is found here.

Overhead, a big turtle- or to be exact, a predecessor to the various contemporary species. We'll get another look at it tomorrow.
