Charonosaurus was named in 2000 and Its name means "Charon's lizard" in reference to Charon, the boatman who transported the souls of the dead in the Ancient Greek underworld.All of our replicas are hand made, finished and hand painted in our studios in leicestershire, United Kingdom. Parasaurolophus was named in 1922 by paleontologist William Parks, its name means "near crested lizard", in reference to Park's belief it was related to Saurolophus. It was very similar to Parasaurolophus and a few paleontologists consider it a species of Parasaurolophus rather than its own genus. It lived at the very end of the Cretaceous, when many species of lambeosaurine dinosaurs had become extinct. A massive hadrosaur called Charonosaurus was found in the Yuliangze Formation in north eastern China. However it has been proven to be its own species.Ī fourth species could also exist in Asia. This led to many paleontologists believing that it represented female or juvenile specimens of P.tubicen. It had the shortest and most curved crest of any species. P.cyrtocristatus is found in the Fruitland and Kaiparowits formations in Utah and New Mexico.It had a long straight crest with a more complex interior structure than other species. Found in Alberta's Dinosaur Park Formation, it had a long curved crest and is known from a very well preserved skeleton, which is only missing parts of its tail and its lower legs. The type species, P.walkeri is also the most iconic.There are so far three species of Parasaurolophus known. Like all hadrosaurs, Parasaurolophus had a toothless beak and batteries of grinding teeth at the back of its jaws.
Parasaurolophus is a member of the lambeosaurinae subfamily of hadrosaurs, which were identifided by their elaborate hollow crests made of bone. For many years, it was also believed that the crest supported a soft tissue frill attached to the neck, however due to lack of any evidence this has fallen out of favour. The hollow crest had a complex structure of tubes which would have allowed the dinosaur to change its calls. The crest is now known to have been used as a display structure and a means of amplifying calls and sounds the dinosaur made to communicate with the rest of the herd. Other theories include a defensive weapon, a support structure, a temperature regulator or as a means to push dense branches out of the way. Initially it was believed to have been used as a snorkel, when hadrosaurs were assumed to be mainly aquatic animals that fed near and in rivers.
The iconic crest of the Parasaurolophus has been much debated over the decades since its discovery.
An iconic dinosaur, Parasaurolophus is easily recognised by the long tube-shaped crest on its head.
