†Dinosaurs

During the Campanian age, a radiation among dinosaur species occurred. In North America, for example, the number of known dinosaur genera rises from 4 at the base of the Campanian to 48 in the upper part. This development is sometimes referred to as the "Campanian Explosion". However, it is not yet clear if the event is artificial, i.e. the low number of genera in the lower Campanian can be caused by a lower preservation chance for fossils in deposits of that age. The generally warm climates and large continental area covered in shallow sea during the Campanian probably favoured the dinosaurs. In the following Maastrichtian stage, the number of North American dinosaur genera found is 30% less than in the upper Campanian.[1]

Angulomastacator

76.9 myaAguja Formation, TexasA lambeosaurine.

Aquilarhinus

Aguja Formation, TexasFormerly referred to Kritosaurus and Gryposaurus it might be a much more basal hadrosaurid.

Aralosaurus

Upper Santonian-Lower Campanian boundary 85.8 myaBostobe Formation, KazakhstanA basal lambeosaurine hadrosaur, Aralosaurus was about the size of an elephant. Although very little is known about Aralosaurus (only one near complete skull has been found); it was identified by a beak with nearly 1,000 small teeth in 30 rows. The back of an Aralosaurus skull was wide, a feature suggestive of large jaw muscles used to power its chewing apparatus.

Brachylophosaurus

76.5 myaMontana, USA; Alberta, CanadaBrachylophosaurus was a basal saurolophine hadrosaur which reached an adult length of 9 meters (30 feet).

Corythosaurus

77-76.5 myaAlberta, CanadaA derived lambeosaurine. Corythosaurus weighed in at 4 tonnes and measured roughly 10 metres (33 feet) from nose to tail.

Diclonius

75 myaMontana, USAA dubious genus of hadrosaur known only from dental fossils.

Edmontosaurus

73.0-76.5 myaCanadaEdmontosaurus, a saurolophine hadrosaur, included some of the largest ornithischian species, measuring up to 12 metres (39 feet) long and weighing around 4.0 metric tons (4.4 short tons).

Gasparinisaura

85 myaArgentinaGasparinisaura was a small ornithopod of the basal clade Elasmaria. In 2010 Gregory S. Paul estimated the length at 1.7 metres, the weight at thirteen kilogrammes.

Gilmoreosaurus

72 myaMongoliaA relatively large hadrosauromorph.

Gryposaurus

83-75.5 myaAlberta, CanadaGryposaurus was a saurolophine hadrosaur of typical size and shape.

Hadrosaurus

79.5 myaNew Jersey, USAOne of the most basal hadrosaurids and the namesake genus of the family. It was likely bipedal for the purposes of running, but could use its forelegs to support itself while feeding.

Hypacrosaurus

75-67 myaAlberta, CanadaA derived lambeosaurine, Hypacrosaurus is most easily distinguished from other hollow-crested duckbills by its tall neural spines and the form of its crest. The neural spines, which project from the top of the vertebrae, are 5 to 7 times the height of the body of their respective vertebrae in the back,[4] which would have given it a tall back in profile. The skull's hollow crest is like that of Corythosaurus, but is more pointed along its top, not as tall, wider side to side, and has a small bony point at the rear

Hypsibema

North Carolina and Missouri, USAA large hadrosauroid known only by a couple of vertebrae.

Kritosaurus

Malefica

Maiasaura

76.7 myaMontana, USAMaiasaura was a large basal saurolophine hadrosaur, attaining an adult length of about 9 metres (30 feet) and had the typical hadrosaurid flat beak and a thick nose. It had a small, spiky crest in front of its eyes. The crest may have been used in headbutting contests between males during the breeding season.

73 myaNew Mexico, USANaashoibitosaurus, a saurolophine hadrosaur, based as it is on a single partial skeleton, is not well known in terms of anatomy. Its skull, the most thoroughly described portion, has a low nasal crest that peaks in front of the eyes, but does not strongly arch as in Gryposaurus.

Prosaurolophus

76-75 myaAlberta, CanadaProsaurolophus was a large-headed duckbill; the most complete described specimen has a skull around 0.9 meters (3.0 feet) long on a ~8.5 meter long skeleton (~28 ft).[2] It had a small, stout, triangular crest in front of the eyes; the sides of this crest were concave, forming depressions. The upper arm was relatively short.

Pteropelyx

75 myaMontana, USAA dubious genus of lambeosaurine hadrosaurs. Historically, several species were assigned to it, all based on extremely fragmentary remains, but there is no evidence to support these assignments.

Rhabdodon

72 myaFrance; Spain; Haţeg Island, RomaniaIt is unclear whether it was an iguanodont or a hypsilophodont, and may be a "missing link" between the two. Current evidence indicates it is an iguanodont similar to Tenontosaurus.

Saurolophus

69.5-68.5 myaNorth America, AsiaSaurolophus is known from material including nearly complete skeletons, giving researchers a clear picture of its bony anatomy. S. osborni, the rarer Albertan species, was around 9.8 meters (32 feet) long, with its skull a meter long (3.3 feet). Its weight is estimated at 1.9 tonnes (2.1 tons). S. angustirostris, the Mongolian species, was larger; the type skeleton is roughly 12 meters (39 feet) long, and larger remains are reported.

Sektensaurus
