Either that Edmontosaurus is bigger than I thought it would be, or the Styracosaurus is smaller.

The Styracosaurus is basically the same size as the Papo Pachyrhinosaurus.

I have a sorta related question...is the head on this Edmontosaurus too small or are they not supposed to have big heads like this :

There are different species and morphs. Must admit I know very little about them, but quickly browsing the Field Guide (because it's right near my desk) Paul shows two morphs for E. regalis, one with a larger head.

Dont know, but the head on that sculpt looks huge.

I think I'll wait for the safaris and just get them all in one order later on this year... Not really feeling the "magic" like I really wanted them last year.

I'll do a bit more looking on my own as well...any idea if there are pics of both anywhere ? I recall the SUE Anatotitan had a pretty large head as well.

Paul shows two morphs for E. regalis, one with a larger head. Fascinating information concerning the Edmontosaurus variants? I'm curious which E. survived longer? In general, humans with larger heads e.g hydrocephalus, are deemed less intelligent. However, I would imagine dinosaurs with smaller heads (and associated walnut sized brains) were less intelligent, e.g Stegosaurus. Unless, the most recent research runs contrary to what I seem to know...?

Horridus, I'm looking at the field guide and the one with the smaller head looks to be regalis and annectus (anatotitan) has a big head...unless i completely missed a page or something.
As for head size for intelligence. I say that means nothing for these dinosaurs. Head size isn't really a direct indicator of how big the actual brain was. Look at ceratopsids... they have gigantic noggins yet their actual brains were pretty dinky. Even so, big-headed annectus(anatotitan) lived later.

Given the lump-o-rama it can be confusing, but I thought p 298 showed two morphs of E. regalis speculatively labelled "male?" and "female?"

The speculative male is the one with the larger head. By the by, the page number is the same in the UK/European edition, it seems. I had supposed that the pagination might have differed since it contains fewer species than the original 'Princeton' edition. Unless it doesn't after all and the information I got was erroneous. I digress...

If that was the case you should have just had one of us pick you up a copy here and ship it you. I don't mind helping out every once in a awhile.. ;D

I've been trying to get the Princeton edition for a while now, but the place I have in mind (which is cheaper than elsewhere) never seems to have it in stock. Perhaps I ought to just bite the bullet and fork out the extra expense.

Depending what shipping would be , let me know. Amazon.com has it for about 25.00 I think...if that's the right edition.

Not to worry, Blade, but thank you so much for the offer. I can get it here for a little above that if I decide not to wait for my place to have it back in stock. It would be easier with postage costs too.

The Princeton Field Guide is about EUR 30.00 here in Germany, but it's worth every little cent and I don't mind . But back on topic: HURRA! The Edmonto has been released ;D!!
