Students will be taught about the most ornate group of herbivores: The Hadrosaurs
The topics covered will be as follows:
1) Descent from Iguanodontids
2) Adaptation to fruits and flowers
3) The Saurolophine/Lambeosaurine split
4) Saurolophine Hadrosaurs
5) Lambeosaurine Hadrosaurs
6) Discoveries in hadrosaur communication (primarily Parasaurolophus)
7) New discoveries in South America and Africa
8) Eliminating their stereotype as weak dinosaurs
My class will be structured along the evolutionary and geological timeline of this family group
I will be teaching using a mixture of slides, images, lectures and videos with permission from the respect artists and video makers
Learners will get to interact with me primarily through lectures and discussion
No required experience or knowledge needed as this is an introduction to this group.
