#Edmontosaurus #annectens was a #duckbilled #dinosaur (#Hadrosauridae) and ate mostly #coniferous #diet. Hadrosaurids preferred #quadruped walks. P. C. Sereno et al. (2025) found that "#mummy" #fossils of the #species formed due to the carcass being covered by a soft #sedimentlayer impressed with tissue details before decomposition. Found details: a fleshy head- and trunk-ridge, a hip/tail spikerow and #hoof-like feet.

"Corythosaurus casuarius" — 2012

Corythosaurus casuarius was a duckbilled dinosaur, from the Late Cretaceous of North America. This a a completely reworked version of the first painting I ever did, back in 1995 or so. It owes quite a lot to a drawing of Parasaurlophus in a redwood forest by Gregory Paul.
