Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. Leidy 1870Crowns of the teeth tuberculate at their enameled margins.
A. Prieto-Márquez 2011Basal hadrosaurid dinosaur characterized by the unique combination of the following plesiomorphic humeral and derived iliac characters within the context of Hadrosauroidea as defined by Prieto-Márquez (2010): very short pectoral crest, being only slightly over 40 per cent of the total length of the humerus; deltopectoral crest expanding smoothly from the humeral shaft, so that its laterodistal corner displays a wide and arcuate profile; ventral apex of supraacetabular crest located above the posteroventral corner of lateral ridge on posterior tuberosity of ischial peduncle of ilium; anteroposteriorly shortened supraacetabular crest, its breadth being half the length of central iliac plate.
A. Prieto-Márquez et al. 2016H. foulkii is diagnosed on the basis a unique anatomical combination consisting of a short humeral deltopectoral crest (slightly over 40% of the length of the humerus) that displays a wide and arcuate laterodistal corner and an ilium with supraacetabular crest being half the length of central iliac plate, with ventral apex of the crest located above the caudal tuberosity of the ischiadic process.
