[3]
Saurolophus was an important early reference for other hadrosaurs, as seen in the names of Prosaurolophus ("before Saurolophus") and Parasaurolophus ("near Saurolophus"). However, little additional material has been recovered and described. Instead, more abundant remains from Asia have provided more data.
Styracosaurus is known from the Dinosaur Park Formation, and was a member of a diverse and well-documented fauna of prehistoric animals that included horned relatives such as Centrosaurus and Chasmosaurus, duckbills such as Prosaurolophus, Lambeosaurus, Gryposaurus, Corythosaurus, and Parasaurolophus, ornithomimids Struthiomimus, tyrannosaurids ...

The Speech! allophone-based speech synthesizer software for the BBC Micro was tweaked to pronounce ghoti as fish. [13] Examination of the code reveals the string GHOTI used to identify the special case. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, there is a series of fish-type cards called "Ghoti". [14]
Locals, however, pronounce the name as /ˈskuːkəl/ SKOO-kəl. The US state of Oregon is home to a county, city, river, bay, state forest, museum, Native American tribe, and dairy processing company called Tillamook. Residents pronounce it as / ˈ t ɪ l ə m ʊ k /, while nonresidents often mistakenly say / ˈ t ɪ l ə m uː k /. [74]
The nasal sacs resemble those of many other fish and do not contain an internal nostril. The coelacanth's rostral organ, contained within the ethmoid region of the braincase, has three unguarded openings into the environment and is used as a part of the coelacanth's laterosensory system. [ 8 ]

They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago, although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research.
