Order Ornithischia.—

The ornithischian, or bird-hipped dinosaurs, were herbivorous reptiles

which were quite varied in form and size and appear to have been more

highly developed than the saurischians. This order includes the

duck-billed dinosaurs (ornithopods), the plate-bearing dinosaurs

(stegosaurs), the armored dinosaurs (ankylosaurs), and the horned

dinosaurs (ceratopsians). Ornithischian tracks are known from Cretaceous

rocks in central and Trans-Pecos Texas.
