... or http://channel.nytimes.com/2001/03/20/science/20DINO.html
if you prefer to skip the step of registering a vacuous one-time
account with made-up personal details :-)

The last paragraph of the article says --

        Experts think the footprints were left mainly by a group of
        phytophagous dinosaurs followed by a few carnivorous ones, the
        news agency said.

So -- phytophagous.  Obviously means plant-eating ("phyto" as in
"phytodinosauria", "phagous" as in "saurophaganax") but how does it
differ from "herbivorous"?
