There are specimens of
Parasaurolophus from all over the western half of the continent. There are remains
from Utah,
New Mexico, and
Alberta, Canada as well. Many of the remains of the dinosaur come from Canada, in fact. There are remains described on a regular basis from
Dinosaur Provincial Park. A wide variety of topics are discussed as well. These range from
ontogeny and heterochrony (life history and developmental change in time and events) in
Parasaurolophus to acoustics of the
nasal passage, as mentioned yesterday.
Parasaurolophus may not have made it into space (contra this Brynn Metheney drawing) but it has indeed created a stellar impression on the history of life and the careers of many biologists and paleontologists.
