Corythosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Corythosaurus casuarius was a herbivorous hadrosaurid of Late Cretaceous North America. Its head bore a tall, laterally flattened, helmet-like crest containing elaborate nasal passages.

The crest may have served visual communication and sound amplification. Rich Canadian material shows its shape changed with age. A broad beak and numerous teeth gathered and processed plant food.
