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 \u003ci\u003eIguanodon\u003c\/i\u003e and other denizens of the Cretaceous ecosystems of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Pascal Godefroit and contributors consider the Bernissart locality itself and the new research programs that are underway there. The book also presents a systematic revision of \u003ci\u003eIguanodon\u003c\/i\u003e; new material from Spain, Romania, China, and Kazakhstan; studies of other Early Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems; and examinations of Cretaceous vertebrate faunas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pascal Godefroit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.90w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253357212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePascal Godefroit is Professor of Paleontology at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39946325229683,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_e83f1a05-3e07-413b-9c39-cc365523f5cf.jpg?v=1648314198","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/bernissart-dinosaurs-and-early-cretaceous-terrestrial-ecosystems-9780253357212","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
