Saurolophus in a Snowy Landscape

This image shows Saurolophus facing forward, showcasing its characteristic spike-like head crest and wide duck bill. Floating above the creature is a cloud releasing large snowflakes into the air.

Life of Saurolophus in Ancient Climates

Fossils of Saurolophus have been discovered in both North America and Asia, indicating that this duck-billed dinosaur was widespread during the Late Cretaceous. Some northern populations lived at high latitudes where seasonal temperatures dropped low enough to bring snow and frost. The pointed crest on top of its head was connected to its nasal passages and may have been used to produce resonant calls across large herds.
