Saurolophus

Dino Lesson

Saurolophus is a large hadrosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It is one of the few genera of dinosaurs known from multiple continents. The type species, S. osborni, was described from Canadian fossils, and a second valid species, S. angustirostris, is represented by numerous specimens from Mongolia. Saurolophus is distinguished by a spike-like crest which projects up and back from the skull. It was a herbivorous dinosaur which could move about either bipedally or quadrupedally.
