Lost in plain sight: rediscovery of William E. Cutler's missing Eoceratops 541–550 en 978-0253353580 Matthew observed that fossils of hadrosaur eggs and hatchlings were absent in coastal areas and suggested that hadrosaurs may have preferred nesting grounds further inland. He believed that these inland nesting grounds were actually where hadrosaurs first evolved and therefore to breed, hadrosaurs retraced their ancestors route back to their place of origin. After hatching, the young hadrosaurs would spend some time inland maturing before migrating out to more coastal areas.horner-weishampel-forster-2004 Horner John R. Weishampel David B.
