Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. A. Gates and S. D. Sampson 2007Hadrosaurine hadrosaurids possessing the following autapomorphies: dorsolateral
flare on the medial margin of the premaxillary lateral process; unexcavated nasal arch located anterior to the orbits; and sigmoidal nasofrontal suture characterized by a small median process of the nasal inserting between the midline of the frontals. Members of the genus also possess the following unique combination of characters: dorsoventrally deep skull; anterior process of nasal terminates along the dorsal margin of the external naris; ventral nasal process comprising approximately 25% of the ventral margin of the external nares; abbreviated circumnarial depression, extending posteriorly only as far as the lacrimal; jugal with large offset posteroventral flange, postorbital process at or near 90°, and narrow posterior process; and frontal contribution to the orbital rim.
A. Prieto-Marquez 2010Hadrosaurid dinosaur characterized by the following autapomorphies: nasal bearing a protuberance anterior to the orbits, which is arcuate in many but not all specimens, and that rises above the level of the frontal in adults; dorsolateral flaring on the medial margin of the posteroventral process of the premaxilla; posterodorsal margin of the circumnarial depression gently incised and located dorsal to the anterior half of the lacrimal; nasofrontal suture characterized by a small median nasal process inserting between the midline of the frontals; and massive proximodorsal corner of the paroccipital process that is the thickest among hadrosaurids, with a thickness that is greater than the maximum mediolateral width of the foramen magnum (diagnosis modified from that in Horner, 1992, and Gates and Sampson, 2007).
