Koshisaurus lived about 121 to 113 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous.2
It was a basal hadrosauroid, meaning it was an early relative of the duck-billed dinosaurs.1
Koshisaurus had an antorbital fossa, a hole in front of its eye socket on the skull, which is a primitive feature.1
Its teeth had at least three subsidiary ridges on the outer side, helping it grind plants.1
Koshisaurus shared its home with other dinosaurs like Fukuisaurus, Fukuiraptor, and Fukuititan.1

?What did Koshisaurus eat?
It ate plants, using its beak to snip leaves and its ridged teeth to grind them up.43
