  Genus Saurolophus
Saurolophus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in North America and Asia, during the late Cretaceous period, about 74 to 70 million years ago. It is named for the crest on its head: Saurolophus means "crested lizard", and was first described by Barnum Brown in 1912.

North American examples were about 30 feet (9.1 meters) long, whereas in Asia, it grew up to 39 feet (11.9 meters).

Like other duckbilled dinosaurs, Saurolophus is believed to have lived in herds. The crest on its head was hollow, and connected to the nasal passages, and thus could have been used to make sounds. Saurolophus could use these sounds to communicate within its herds, for example to warn of approaching predators.

Saurolophus Facts



Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Saurolophus:
  1. Saurolophus was a genus of dinosaur.

  5. Saurolophus lived between about 74 million years ago and 70 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

  6. Saurolophus lived in North America and Asia.

  7. Saurolophus was a herbivore (plant-eater).

Product Description:

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
  • Beautiful, large-format volume

    • 8 color paleo-distribution maps
