Muttaburrasaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Muttaburrasaurus was a large herbivore of Cretaceous Australia. It had powerful plant-cutting teeth and a distinctly rounded, enlarged nasal region. Internal chambers there may have influenced sounds.

The first widely known skeleton was discovered near Muttaburra in Queensland. The species was described in 1981, its name commemorating discoverer Doug Langdon. Well-preserved bones provide important knowledge of large Australian ornithopods.
