The findings are mostly evidence of theropods (upright carnivores) with footprints of theropod prey, hadrosaurs or duck-billed dinosaurs. The sizes and shapes of crystals from the fossil teeth suggest that the ceratopsian dinosaurs, relatives of Triceratops, may have eaten a high proportion of tough-leafed cycads, whereas the hadrosaurs, or duck-billed dinosaurs, probably favored ferns. As a group, the Coelurosaurs--which include duck-billed dinosaurs, oviraptors, and even Tyrannosaurus rex--sport a variety of special features, including beaks and horns. |
