Tsintaosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Tsintaosaurus was a herbivorous Late Cretaceous Chinese hadrosaur. A lambeosaurine, it belonged to a duck-billed lineage with elaborate skull structures. It fed in terrestrial environments, processing plants with numerous teeth working together.

An older reconstruction showed a straight unicorn-like projection. An analysis published in 2013 indicated a more complex hollow crest. Proposed roles in communication and individual recognition remain hypotheses.
