Hadrosaurs of all shapes and sizes have unique features, as we know for any given taxon, and many of them sport some sort of crest above their heads. Strangely, considering the prevalence of crests, there are very few illustrations dedicated to displaying the differences between the crests and the hadrosaurs that sport them. The most well known of those hadrosaurs include the most well known crests (e.g.
Corythosaurus,
Parasaurolophus) in the ornithischian world. Descriptions of the
Lambeosaurus crest should be fresh in everyone's mind from yesterday and the
Lambeosaurs in the above illustration should therefore stick out fairly well. However, if the description alone was not enough to help a casual observer pick between
Lambeosaurus and
Corythosaurus please turn your attentions to this second image that shows both dinosaurs and labels them clearly.
Hello! May I ask if where did you get the second image from this article from? Is it from a children's dinosaur book illustration? And if you can, may you also tell me who the author of the book is? Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies for the late reply. This is from a time where I was not a responsible person and didn't always chase down attributions and sources as well as I should have here. I didn't find a source for this image right away. I've been looking this morning and still can't seem to find it. If I do, I'll add another reply.
