The authors of this study describe such East Coast dinosaurs as: Astrodon johnstoni, which browsed in a tropical Maryland some 100 million years ago; Anchisaurus polyzelus, which lived in New England around 200 million years ago; and Hadrosaurus foulkii, a dick-billed dinosaur that lived in New Jersey 70 million years ago, and which was North America's first well-preserved dinosaur skeleton. The text shows how dinosaur finds have come from both the bog iron and clay pits of Maryland and New Jersey, and the river banks of North and South Carolina in addition, dinosaur footprints have been found from central Virginia to the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia.

Pressestimmen
"[Weishampel and Young] have written a comprehensive guide to eastern dinosaurs. They review 200 years of fossil-hunting and point out that most sites have been exposed by human activities at quarries, tunnels, canals, and building and bridge foundations...The authors describe each species and its location; sites range from South Carolina to Nova Scotia, with New Jersey and Maryland the most productive. Since the 1960s, scientific collecting has revived on the East Coast, and the authors offer advice on where to look for fossils...An admirable textbook for readers seriously interested in dinosaurs."--'Publishers Weekly' "I know of no other book like this. It is beautifully thought out and organizaed, and it covers one of the most important regions in the world of fossil hunting"--Peter Dodson, University of Pennsylvania school of Veterinary Medicine
