Shantungosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Shantungosaurus was among the largest Late Cretaceous hadrosaurids. It lived in present-day China. A broad beak and elaborate tooth batteries processed plant food.

Shandong finds include many bones of large individuals. They help reconstruct this huge herbivore’s proportions and compare it with smaller hadrosaurs. Researchers also study the events that caused accumulations of remains to be buried together.
