Fossil
remains
for
this
Dinosaur
have
been
found
in
North
America
This
dinosaur
just
recently
lost its
name. First
discovered
and named in
1993,
Naashoibitosaurus
was the
subject of
many
arguments as
to whether
it was
different
enough from
other
duckbills to
deserve its
own name. In
2000, after
careful
examination
of the
fossils, it
was decided
that the
name
Naashoibitosaurus
was not
going to be
used because
this
dinosaur was
actually
another
Kritosaurus
This is a
good example
of the
ever-changing
theories
that typify
the science
of
paleontology. |
