Datos curiosos

1

Corythosaurus is named after its crest, which looks like a Corinthian helmet worn by ancient Greek soldiers.1

2

The crest was hollow and connected to the nose. Scientists think Corythosaurus used it to make loud calls, like a trombone.1

3

One nearly complete skeleton was found with impressions of its skin, showing it had polygonal scales.1

4

Corythosaurus lived alongside other dinosaurs like the tyrannosaur Gorgosaurus and the horned dinosaur Centrosaurus.1

5

The first Corythosaurus fossil was discovered in 1911 by Barnum Brown in Alberta, Canada.1

6

Corythosaurus had a beak that was shallow and delicate, so it probably ate only the softest plants.1
