ABSTRACT The iguanodontian dinosaurs have a fossil record that extends from the Middle Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous, by which time they had diversified to become the dominant herbivores of Laurasian ecosystems. They are historically important because fossils of British iguanodontians were among the first to be recognised as the gigantic reptiles that formed the basis for naming Dinosauria.
