[Paleontology • 2014] The Danek Edmontosaurus Bonebed: new insights on the Systematics, Biogeography, and Palaeoecology of Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Communities | Le lit d’ossements d’Edmontosaurus de Danek : le point sur la systématique, la biogéographie et la paléoécologie des populations de dinosaures du Crétacé tardif


A large, mature hadrosaurid Edmontosaurus regalis sporting an unusual head crest, surveys an open clearing within a late Cretaceous taxodiaceous conifer forest.

Introduction: 
“The bonebed was discovered by Danek Mozdzenski, an amateur fossil collector from Edmonton, on March 31, 1989 (Bell and Campione, 2014) and was initially excavated by the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in 1989 and 1991, during which time approximately 80 specimens were collected, including a partial articulated skeleton. The bonebed was reopened by the University of Alberta Laboratory for Vertebrate Palaeontology in 2006, and has since produced over 800 catalogued specimens.”
