Paleontology: a cock's comb on a duck-billed dinosaur.

John R Horner1.   

Abstract

A soft tissue structure has been discovered on the head of the duck-billed dinosaur Edmontosaurus. Its similarity to a cock's comb and other sexually dimorphic structures of birds suggests that potential sexual signals existed in these extinct animals.
