Abstract
Hadrosaur Bones have been found on the Colville River north of Umiat on the North Slope of Alaska. This find represents the first report of dinosaur bones in Alaska and their northernmost reported occurrence. The remains are not determinable below family level but are important, nonetheless, for interpretations of the paleoclimatology and paleobiogeography of the Late Cretaceous.Keywords
