[edit] No Skull?
Can someone explain the assertion that there is no skull known? The specimen on display at the Philadelphia Academy has one. The assertion about the skeletons being indistinguishable seems to contradict information in the Hadrosauridae article. Robert A West 21:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It's true. According to Dr. William B. Gallagher of the New Jersey State Museum in his book "When Dinosaurs Roamed New Jersey" Rutgers University Press 1997 pg. 34 the skull was not found and may not have even been with the bulk of the remains. Remeber the skelton found is the only one from this species, so a skull from a different species, but same Genus, could be used to replace it but this skull could have differences from the orginal.

- H. foulki is the only valid species of the Hadrosaur genus, afaik. Any skull in museum display is probably based on related genera, like Gryptosaurus.Dinoguy2 18:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ==
Could Eolambia be merged (with a redirect) into this article as that article appears to be little more than a stub?

- No, that should only be done if Eolambia is a synonym for Hadrosaurus (like Apatosaurus=Brontosaurus), which it's not. Leave it as is (there are hundreds of dino stubs like it...), somebody working on Wikiproject Dinosaurs will get to it eventually.Dinoguy2 23:52, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] rendition of hadrosaur

- If so, you need to come up with a source that says it was meant to look like a hadrosaur, and then create a pop culture section to put it in.Dinoguy2 21:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
