Eolambia’s bones let researchers follow a dinosaur’s growth from youth to adulthood. It had a beak, many teeth and a sturdy plant-eating body. It was related to duck-billed dinosaurs, but represents an earlier stage in their evolutionary history than some of the best-known forms.

Beyond the game

The real Eolambia

Many bones have been found in Utah, including remains of young animals and adults. The rocks and other fossils point to landscapes with water and vegetation, shared with a variety of species.

Fossils of different ages let researchers follow changes in the body as an animal grew. They also help distinguish youthful features from differences between species, an important task when dinosaurs are known from incomplete skeletons.
