Kritosaurus Bone - 2.894"

The mighty hadrosaurs were some of the most successful herbivores of the Cretaceous Period. The "duck bills" these dinosaurs are known for were not actually beaks but hundreds of small teeth, helping them chew through even the toughest vegetation.

This specimen is a fossilized bone section from the Kritosaurus genus of the Hadrosaurid family. It measures 2.894" and dates to around 77 million years ago.

📸 Hadrosaur's evolutionary branches

Master Herbivores

Hadrosaur fossils have been found on all continents. Evidence of their migratory nature has been recovered, but recent studies suggest that some species, those in polar regions, may have settled in place year-round.

These large herbivores ate twigs, berries and coarse plant matter. Much is known about their diet as fossilized stomach contents have been identified. They foraged on low-level foliage from conifers and deciduous shrubs and trees.

Recent studies suggest that Hadrosaurs, which could reach the size of a Tyrannosaurus rex, grew at phenomenal speeds, in part to avoid predation by therapods. Compare this with T. rex, which took three times that long to grow to full size.

KRITOSAURUS

Much remains unknown about Kritosaurus as only fragments of the genus have been uncovered, but it’s believed the dinosaur was about 30 feet in length. Like other Hadrosaurids, Kritosaurus could move about both as a bipedal and quadrupedal, all the better to browse on low-growing vegetation. As a herbivore, Kritosaurus used its dental battery to grind through plant matter, constantly replacing its teeth as needed.
