Dryosaurus Questions

I've been doing a bit of research in preparation for a Dryosaurus reconstruction, but I am lacking some information. Does anyone know where I can find some good information on: muscles (cheek/jaws in particular), guts/organs, and skin/integument. If not for Dryosaurus exactly, then maybe close relatives would work. I've looked over several sources and am having a hard time, so any help would be very much appreciated.

Ooh!  I sculpted a Dryosaurus a couple months ago and had the same problem.  The closest relative I could find a muscle study for was Camptosaurus.  It's in Greg Paul's Dinosaur Field Guide.  The closest relative with skin impressions was Iguanodon.

This paper reconstructs the jaw adductors of Dryosaurus. It doesn't tell you the full extent of the cheeks or anything, but it's a start:

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Thanks irimali and Halichoeres! I'll have to look into those iguanodon skin impressions.
