978-0-8018-5216-9 (ISBN)
The authors of this study describe such East Coast dinosaurs as: Astrodon johnstoni, which browsed in a tropical Maryland some 100 million years ago; Anchisaurus polyzelus, which lived in New England around 200 million years ago; and Hadrosaurus foulkii, a dick-billed dinosaur that lived in New Jersey 70 million years ago, and which was North America's first well-preserved dinosaur skeleton. The text shows how dinosaur finds have come from both the bog iron and clay pits of Maryland and New Jersey, and the river banks of North and South Carolina in addition, dinosaur footprints have been found from central Virginia to the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia.
