Could someone help me with a historical question about Hadrosaur anatomy? I read somewhere that when they prepared the first Hadrosaur for display at the Centennial in Philadelphia (1876), they used an iguana skull to complete the mount because they believed the Hadrosaur was similar to a reptile, even though the Hadrosaur had a pelvic structure similar to a bird. Is this correct or are have I somewhere along the line misinterpreted the historical sources? Thanks for any help you can provide. Diane Smith
