Ye Olde Duckbill Dinosaur



Hello all!

When I was a kid sneaking down to downtown New Haven to visit the Peabody 
Museum (which was free then....) I was very familiar with the then current 
restoration of the duckbill dinosaur 'Trachodon [spelling?]' as having a 
wide duck-like bill and swimming in water.  Now that I've gotten back to 
dinosaurs I know that that restoration is changed, in fact even that diorama 
at the Peabody has been removed.  I assume Trachodon is an invalid name now. 
 Since I've missed the changes due to new information, what happened to 
Trachodon and his wide flat bill?

Thanks much....Steve
