Iguanodon - One of the first dinosaurs to be
named and described, the other two being Megalosaurus and
Hylaeosaurus. Its teeth resemble those of modern Iguana lizards,
although much larger. Iguanodon sported a spiked thumb on each
hand suggesting that it was used in self defense. Several more
specimens were discovered together in Belgium, suggesting that
these dinosaurs traveled in large herds. Iguanodon foot prints
were also found from England to Spitzbergen to north of the
Arctic Circle. |
