Florida, June 26: A team of researchers have found evidence of several species of dinosaurs that have lived and nested in Northern Alaska. In a project to document the ancient Arctic ecosystem of the Prince Creek Formation in Northern Alaska researchers collected various fossils and microfossil deposits. After analyzing them, they found hundreds of small baby dinosaur bones, including tiny teeth with some not larger than the head of a pin. They were off perinatal dinosaurs which were either still in the egg or had just hatched out. The various dinosaur species include hadrosaurids (duck-billed dinosaurs), ceratopsians (horned dinosaurs), thescelosaurs, and carnivorous species (tyrannosaurs, troodontids, and dromaeosaurs). So these findings prove as an evidence that dinosaurs did not just spent time at these extreme latitudes and environments but also reproduced there.
