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.
