- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to compile and summarize records of southeastern non·avian dinosaur material collected from the Upper Cretaceous Gulf Coastal Plain units in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee. In all, information on 155 non·avian dinosaur specimens were compiled (Tables 1·9) from twelve insti· tutions including national museums, state museums, and university collections. Specimens represent hadrosaurs, ankylosaurs, ornithomimids, dromaeosaurs, and tyrannosaurs as well as additional material not identified to lower taxa. This additional material comprises 21% of the total specimen records compiled. Two holotypes (both from Alabama) were represented in the compiled data: the hadrosaur Lophorhothon atopus Langston, 1960 and and the tyrannosauroid appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis Carr, Williamson, and Schwimmer 2005. With such a significant number of specimens yet to be further identified and two holotypes from the study area, additional research on southeastern dinosaurs is needed.
