Hypacrosaurus is an extinct genus of duck-billed dinosaur from Late Cretaceous North America. Growing to lengths of nearly 30ft, its tall neural spines gave it a large profile - earning it the name "near-highest lizard". Like other Hadrosaurs, Hypacrosaurus was a bipedal/quadrupedal herbivore. It likely roamed in large herds, grazing on a variety of plants.
After collecting fossils as a hobby for many years growing up, Dave Douglass opened Dave's Down to Earth Rock Shop in 1970 at the age of 20 (with the help of his parents) at 1312 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. The shop contained minerals and fossils, mostly self-collected by the Douglass family.
