Coronosaurus is a close relative of Centrosaurus, and it greatly resembled it in appearance. It was found in the Oldman Formation of Alberta, Canada, living in the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, about 77 million years ago. It was probably about 5 meters long, and it is known from multiple specimens. It was first thought to be a new species of Centrosaurus, before being separated out as a new genus due to it’s lack of monophyly with Centrosaurus. It was thus given its own genus. It resembles Centrosaurus and Styracosaurus in its morphology, except for differences in some of the horns. It lived alongside many other dinosaurs such as Saurornitholestes, Daspletosaurus, Troodon, Dromaeosaurus, Hesperonychus, Albertaceratops, Chasmosaurus, Anchiceratops, Brachylophosaurus, Gryposaurus, Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Albertadromeus, and Scolosaurus.
