But the eastern United States and maritime Canada, where dinosaurs also roamed in great numbers, have been equally important to the study of these extraordinary creatures. Some dinosaur fossils have come from the bog iron and clay pits of Maryland and New Jersey, while others have been discovered in the riverbanks of North and South Carolina. Dinosaur footprint sites have been found from central Virginia to the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDinosaurs of the East Coast\u003c\/i\u003e, David Weishampel and Luther Young restore East Coast dinosaurs to their rightful place on the paleontological map. They describe such dinosaurs as the plant-eating \u003ci\u003eAstrodon johnstoni\u003c\/i\u003e, which browsed in a tropical Maryland jungle 100 million years ago; \u003ci\u003eAnchisaurus polyzelus\u003c\/i\u003e, which lived in New England some 200 million years ago; \u003ci\u003eEubrontes\u003c\/i\u003e, the first large therapod on the East Coast; \u003ci\u003ePekinosaurus olseni\u003c\/i\u003e, a primitive ornithischian found in North Carolina; and \u003ci\u003eHadrosaurus foulkii\u003c\/i\u003e, a duck-billed dinosaur that lived in New Jersey some 70 million years ago. In addition, they chronicle the long and colorful history of dinosaur fossil hunting along the Atlantic coast and profile the modern-day fossil hunters--both professional paleontologists and amateur collecters--who continue to make important discoveries today. Richly illustrated with more than one hundred photographs and drawings, \u003ci\u003eDinosaurs of the East Coast\u003c\/i\u003e combines science and history to offer a new look at an always fascinating subject. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David B.
