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 mya	Aguja Formation, Texas	A lambeosaurine.
Aquilarhinus		Aguja Formation, Texas	Formerly referred to Kritosaurus and Gryposaurus it might be a much more basal hadrosaurid.
Aralosaurus	Upper Santonian-Lower Campanian boundary 85.8 mya	Bostobe Formation, Kazakhstan	A 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 mya	Montana, USA; Alberta, Canada	Brachylophosaurus was a basal saurolophine hadrosaur which reached an adult length of 9 meters (30 feet).
Corythosaurus	77-76.5 mya	Alberta, Canada	A derived lambeosaurine. Corythosaurus weighed in at 4 tonnes and measured roughly 10 metres (33 feet) from nose to tail.

Gryposaurus	83-75.5 mya	Alberta, Canada	Gryposaurus was a saurolophine hadrosaur of typical size and shape.
Hadrosaurus	79.5 mya	New Jersey, USA	One 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 mya	Alberta, Canada	A 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, USA	A large hadrosauroid known only by a couple of vertebrae.
Kritosaurus	73 mya	North America	The type specimen of Kritosaurus navajovius is only represented by a partial skull and lower jaws, and associated postcranial remains.

Lophorhothon	80 mya	Alabama, USA	A genus of hadrosauromorphs.
Malefica		Aguja Formation, Texas	A basal hadrosaur.
Maiasaura	76.7 mya	Montana, USA	Maiasaura 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.
Microhadrosaurus		China	A possibly dubious genus of hadrosaur known by a partial lower jaw from a juvenile.
Mochlodon		Austria	A rhabdodontid.
Naashoibitosaurus	73 mya	New Mexico, USA	Naashoibitosaurus, 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.

Probrachylophosaurus	79 mya	Montana, USA; Alberta, Canada	A large basal saurolophine hadrosaur which reached an adult length of over 9 meters (30 feet).
Prosaurolophus	76-75 mya	Alberta, Canada	Prosaurolophus 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 mya	Montana, USA	A 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 mya	France; Spain; Haţeg Island, Romania	It 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 mya	North America, Asia	Saurolophus 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.
Shantungosaurus	72 mya	China	A very large saurolophine hadrosaur closely related to Edmontosaurus, it is one of the longest and largest known hadrosaurids and possibly the largest non-sauropod dinosaur; the composite skeleton of a medium-sized individual mounted at the Geological Institute of China in Beijing measures 14.72 metres (48.3 feet) in length.
Stephanosaurus	76–75 mya	Dinosaur Park Formation, Alberta	A dubious genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur with a complicated taxonomic history.
Tanius	72–71 mya	China	A genus of hadrosauromorph dinosaur.

Avialae

Birds of the Campanian
Taxa	Presence	Location	Description	Images
†Alexornis			A genus of enantiornithine birds of uncertain affinities.	Gargantuavis Hesperornis Hollanda Ichthyornis
†Apatornis			A genus of basal ornithuran birds.
†Apsaravis			A genus of basal ornithuromorph birds.
†Baptornis			A genus of flightless hesperornithiform birds.
†Brodavis			A genus of freshwater hesperornithiform birds. Although Hesperornithes probably lost their flight abilities by the end of the Early Cretaceous, minimal pachyostosis in Brodavis suggests the possibility of some volant abilities.
†Canadaga			A genus of flightless hesperornithid birds.
†Castignovolucris			An enantiornithe of uncertain affinities. It was estimated to have a wingspan of around 127–185 cm and may have been 75 to 110 cm long when fully grown, making it one of the largest known enantiornitheans to date.
†Cretaaviculus	~85 mya	Bostobe Formation, Kazakhstan	An extinct genus of birds. The type species, C. sarysuensis, is known only from an isolated, asymmetrical contour feather
†Elsornis			Elsornis is a genus of basal enantiornithine birds. It was flightless or nearly so.
†Gargantuavis			A genus of large, primitive and potentially flightless avialan.
†Gettyia			An avisaurid enantiornithe, previously thought to be a species of the later closely related Maastrichtian genus Avisaurus.
†Gobipteryx			A genus of euenantiornithine enantiornithe. It possessed a robust beak which convergently evolved with those of modern birds.
†Halimornis			A genus of avisaurid enantiornithe. It lived in a coastal environment.
†Hesperornis			A genus of flightless hesperornithid birds.
†Hollanda			A genus of small ground birds. It was either an enantiornithe or a basal ornithuromorph.
†Ichthyornis			A genus of toothy seabird-like ornithuran.
†Intiornis			A genus of avisaurid enantiornithe. Although closely related to some of the largest avisaurids, members of this genus were very small birds.
†Maaqwi			A genus of large marine diving vegaviid bird with an estimated body mass of 1.5 kg.
†Mirarce			A genus of avisaurid enantiornithes, closely related to the later genus Avisaurus.
†Limenavis			Limenavis is the closest known relative of modern birds.
†Neogaeornis wetzeli			A marine bird from Chile. It had the midfeet of a foot-propelled diving bird, but its relationships are enigmatic. The only known species is from the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary.
†Yandangornis			A genus of basal long-tailed avialan. May potentially be a non-avialan genus of theropod.
