Hello everyone,

Is there anybody that can point me in the direction of a good
anatomical diagram of the Ornithischians, I am a paleo-artist, and I
have been trying to expand my knowledge of the anatomy of these
creatures. Also, I am very interested in the evolutionary pathways of
the Ornithischians, starting in the early Triassic. Any information
would be rockin.

Thanks

Albaradru

On the web? Try this: http://dinosauricon.com/taxa/index.html

There are diagrams etc. elsewhere on the site.

In terms of hard copy, I would recommend The Dinosauria, edited by
Weishempel, Dodson, and Osmolska. It's just out in a new edition, which
I haven't seen, but the old edition would give you about as much as
there is anywhere.

Some images from the book can be found here:

I picked up the first edition, used, for very little money.

From this page:
http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/Benton/reprints/default.html
you can download (section 2004) a 16-pages fragment of the second edition of
The Dinosauria.
Cheers, Dawid
