PARASAUROLOPHUS

This animal was a member of the Hadrosauridae, more commonly known as duckbilled dinosaurs. Hadrosaurs were plant eaters, habitual bipeds that would drop to quadrupedal pose when grazing on low growing vegetation.

The head was elongate, with a broad, sharp-edged beak used for cutting through foliage. The plant material was then chewed by tightly-packed vertical rows of thousands of teeth, constantly worn down and replaced throughout the animals life. Hadrosaurs were the dinosaur equivalent of zebra and buffalo, and like them, lived in huge herds.

The distinctive, tubular crest of Parasaurolophus housed long internal cavities that connected with it's throat, and probably acted as a vocal resonator and amplifier. Fossil skeletons of Parasaurolophus have been found in North America and Canada, and the living animal reached a length of about thirty feet.

Dimensions: projects 3-1/4" from wall, 4" from beak to tip of crest.
