Kritosaurus
Kritosaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in
North America, and possibly South America,
during the late Cretaceous period,
about 73 million years ago.
Kritosaurus adults were about 30 feet (9.1 meters) long,
about 23 feet (7 meters) tall, and weighed perhaps a little over
2.5 tons.

Kritosaurus Facts
Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Kritosaurus:
- Kritosaurus was a genus of dinosaur.
- "Kritosaurus" means "separated lizard". This name was chosen by Barnum Brown in 1910.

- Kritosaurus was a Hadrosaur (usually known as "duck-billed dinosaur") - a member of a group of related herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaurs that were very successful in the Cretaceous period.
- Kritosaurus lived about 73 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

Paperback
 | | Product Description:
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Kritosaurus is an incompletely known but historically important genus of hadrosaurid (duck-billed) dinosaur. It lived about 73 million years ago, in the Late Cretaceous of North America. The name means "separated lizard" (referring to the arrangement of the cheek bones in an incomplete type skull), but is often mistranslated as "noble lizard" in reference to the presumed "Roman nose" (in the original specimen, the nasal region was fragmented and disarticulated, and was originally restored flat). The taxonomic history of Kritosaurus is convoluted, also incorporating Gryposaurus, Anasazisaurus, and Naashoibitosaurus; this tangle will remain unresolved until better remains of Kritosaurus are described. Despite the dearth of material, this herbivore appeared in dinosaur books until the 1990s, although what was usually represented was the much more completely known Gryposaurus, then thought to be a synonym. This book was created using print-on-demand technology. |

This lavishly illustrated volume is the first authoritative dinosaur book in the style of a field guide. World-renowned dinosaur illustrator and researcher Gregory Paul provides comprehensive visual and textual coverage of the great Mesozoic animals that gave rise to the living dinosaurs, the birds. Incorporating the new discoveries and research that are radically transforming what we know about dinosaurs, this book is distinguished both by its scientific accuracy and the quality and quantity of its illustrations. It presents thorough descriptions of more than 735 dinosaur species and features more than 600 color and black-and-white images, including unique skeletal drawings, "life" studies, and scenic views--illustrations that depict the full range of dinosaurs, from small, feathered creatures to whale-sized supersauropods. Heavily illustrated species accounts of the major dinosaur groups are preceded by an extensive introduction that covers dinosaur history and biology, the extinction of nonavian dinosaurs, the origin of birds, and the history of dinosaur paleontology--and that also gives a taste of what it might be like to travel back to the time of the dinosaurs. The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs is a must-have for anyone who loves dinosaurs, from the amateur enthusiast to the professional paleontologist. - The first authoritative field guide to dinosaurs
- Covers more than 735 species
