Parasaurolophus lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous Period approximately 76 to 73 Million years ago. The first Parasaurolophus specimen was discovered in 1920 and later described in 1922.
Parasaurolophus’ name is in reference to its most notable feature, the large crest that sits atop of its head. Different species of Parasaurs have differently shaped crests! Scientists believe this Crest served several functions, namely as a visual display for identifying males and females for mating, sound amplification for communicating with other Parasaurolophus, as well as thermoregulation. Although this applies to Parasaurolophus tubicen, scientists have managed to use computer modeling to recreate the sounds made by these majestic Hadrosaurs.
The injuries of Parasaurolophus have been extensively studied, and Scientists have noticed that the Parasaurolophus were able to heal from serious injuries and heal in a short amount of time. One study showed a Parasaur having a fully healed broken shoulder and ribs after being crushed by a tree! These Hadrosaurs were really tough!
