Fossils of new duck-billed, plant-eating dinosaur found in Alaska

Latest finding supports a theory of a 'lost world of dinosaurs' that lived in a far cooler climate than most people associated with the creatures

Fossils from a unique plant eating dinosaur found in the high Arctic of Alaska may change how scientists view dinosaur physiology, Alaska and Florida university researchers have said.

A paper published on Tuesday concluded that fossilized bones found along Alaska's Colville river were from a distinct species of hadrosaur, a duck-billed dinosaur not connected to hadrosaurs previously identified in Canada and the Lower 48 states.
