Welcome to the digsite of the Dinoczar!
I was shamelessly inspired by Frog Druid, and my own dinosaur autism requested from the mods what they wanted; and they chose Parasaurolophus (or near crested lizard)! Two friends of mine I asked also chose this one, so we're starting off strong with them!
These silly lil' guys existed during the Late Cretaceous period, about 73/76 million years ago! Generally, they lived around what's now western North America, at the time known as Laramidia; most of these fossils were found in Alberta, New Mexico, and Utah!
They survived on plants as a herbivore, with their preferred diet being of pine needles, leaves, and twigs.
Their fossils were first described in 1922 by a Canadian named William Parks from a skull and partial skeleton!
