Iguanodon, first described by Gideon Mantell on the basis of fragments discovered in England in 1824, was initially reconstructed as an iguana-like reptile or a heavily built, horned quadruped. However, the Bernissart skeleton changed all that. The animal was displayed in an upright posture similar to a kangaroo, and later with its tail off the ground like the dinosaur we know of today. Focusing on the Bernissant discoveries, this book presents the latest research on Iguanodon and other denizLife of the past.IguanodonBelgiumBernissartPaleontologyBelgiumBernissartPaleoecologyCretaceousIguanodonPaleontologyPaleoecology567.914Godefroit Pascal1967-1490678MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790353103321Bernissart dinosaurs and early Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems3712170UNINA
