    Like today's crested roosters, who rise at a day's first light, one crested, duck-billed dinosaur is shedding new light on the earth's prehistoric evolution.

    Long-held scientific assumptions said the duck-billed Edmontosaurus regalis had a plain head, no elaborate neck frill or horns or spikes, none of the fancy head ornaments sported by many others in the dino world.
