Bossy Papers
One of the few well known dinosaurs from Alaska, the remains of Pachyrhinosaurus from that state have been well studied. Purportedly belonging to one of the species I have not mentioned (P. perotorum
specifically), the literature on the Alaskan population is quite
thorough. This literature has been fairly enlightening about polar
dinosaurs. Coupled with literature about other polar dinosaurs this sort
of research has opened up the life of dinosaurs in those regions of the
world to our present science, despite the vast ages of time that have
passed. These papers include subjects like descriptions of the populations and longevity and growth rates of these polar dinosaurs. Longevity and growth rates
are probably the more interesting of the two subjects (in my opinion).
The original descriptions of Canadian populations are still online as
well; Langston's description of remains from Drumheller and a more recent and complete Alberta find.
The list of descriptions, finds, and other studies continues on for
pages, but there is not enough time (for me) to list and write short
descriptions for the wealth of information that is available.
