Parasaurolophus (/ ˌ p ær ə s ɔː ˈ r ɒ l ə f ə s,-ˌ s ɔːr ə ˈ l oʊ f ə s /; meaning "beside crested lizard" in reference to Saurolophus) [2] is a genus of hadrosaurid "duck-billed" dinosaur that lived in what is now western North America and possibly Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76.9–73.5 million years ago.

Named after the species name. 85% complete by bone count; among most well-preserved of the genus ‘Horridus’, the most complete Triceratops fossil known, on display at the Melbourne Museum.

The size of the two Saurolophus species compared to humans. Saurolophus is known from material including nearly complete skeletons, giving researchers a clear picture of its bony anatomy. S. osborni, the rarer Albertan species, was around 8.2–8.5 m (27–28 ft) long, with its skull 1.0 m (3.3 ft) long.
The two species of Corythosaurus are both present in slightly different levels of the Dinosaur Park Formation. Both still co-existed with theropods and other ornithischians, like Daspletosaurus, Brachylophosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Scolosaurus, and Chasmosaurus.
Each model was sculpted by artist Forest Rogers and authenticated by paleontologists associated with the Carnegie Museum, such as Matt Lamanna, as well as various species-specific experts. [2] Most of the animals were sculpted at a 1:40 scale (where one inch on the model represents 40 inches on the real creature), although some models ...
English: Size comparison of the two better-known species of the North American hadrosaurid dinosaur Parasaurolophus, P. walkeri (type species, blue) and P. cyrtocristatus (fuchsia). The ornithopod silhouettes are based on their respective skeletals by Scott Hartman.
The ornithopod family, which includes genera such as Edmontosaurus and Parasaurolophus, was a common group of herbivores during the Late Cretaceous Period. [1] Hadrosaurids are descendants of the Late Jurassic / Early Cretaceous iguanodontian dinosaurs and had a similar body layout.
Lambeosaurines originated on the continent of Laurasia during the Late Cretaceous, being initially found throughout modern Europe and Asia.Around the Campanian stage, lambeosaurines of the tribe Corythosauria colonized the landmass of Laramidia (modern western North America) via Beringia and spread as far south as Mexico, radiating into a diverse array of a body plans, including famous taxa ...
