The growth rate of these animals must have been phenomenal.

Lovely specimen.:)

cool... bypassing the Taylor & Francis paywall.  I am a member of SVP and I find T&F website terrible... it does not recognzie me as a dues-paying SVP member who should have access to these things, I have to backtrack and come at it from the SVP website.  Which is fine if that was where I was coming from in the first place, but it is just stupid if I come at it form the link above which goes to the T & F website.

 

Rant over.  Back to work, kids.

A sneak peak by Mateusz Wosik who just submitted a paper on another Nestling-sized Edmontosaurus cranial material from the Hell Creek Formation of northeastern Montana. 

 

Check out the size of the jaw, tiny
