Just finished this juvie hadrosaur femur!

Initially tentatively ID'ed as an oviraptorosaur femur in the field, this bone is crushed in a way that's deceptively similar to the way theropod elements are usually crushed. Once the trochanter was exposed as I prepped it, it was certified ornithischian. We have a nice couple of baby hadro jaws from this site, so maybe there is a skeleton coming out!

From Jack's Bonebed near Havre, MT in the Dinosaur Park Formation. Campanian, ~76 million years old.

From US public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.

young Gryposaurus

[mesozoicmarket]

A dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate hadrosaur, possibly Aquilarhinus palimentus from the Aguja Formation in Brewster County, Texas, United States. Aquilarhinus was previous referred to Kritosaurus and Gryposaurus. It is not entirely certain if Aquilarhinus has serrated teeth like Kritosaurus navajovius. It is possible that this tooth does still belong to some species of Kritosaurus (or Gryposaurus) just based on this characteristic.

Dinovember 2024 Day 13: Duckbill’s Chorus

A pair of Gryppsaurus monumentensis and a pair of Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus sound off a morning serenade to attract potential mates with their loud trumpeting calls as the sun slowly rises over a lake in the middle of a forest in what will one day be the Kaiparowits Formation of southern Utah.

Gryposaurus

Gryposaurus was facultatively bipedal, and had batteries of densely packed teeth in the back of its mouth to process its herbivorous diet. It was a large hadrosaur, growing to around 8 m in length, and had a prominent arch rising from its nose. This nasal arch may have been used for species recognition, sexual identification, or possibly even intraspecies combat.
