Krausel reported fossil gut contents from an Edmontosaurus annectens mummy. He described the material as including conifer needles and branches, deciduous foliage, and possible small seeds or fruit.horner-weishampel-forster-2004 Horner John R. Weishampel David B. Forster Catherine A. The Dinosauria University of California Press 2 2004 Berkeley Weishampel D. B. Dodson P. Osmolska H. Hadrosauridae 438–463 en 978-0520254084
