Lambeosaurinae

Lambeosaurinae /ˌlæmbiəˈsɔːraɪniː/ is an extinct group of crested hadrosauroid dinosaurs.

Description
Size Uncertainty surrounds the size of lambeosaurs from the European continent. Hadrosaurs found there, alongside other dinosaurs, have traditionally been considered representatives of the phenomenon of insular dwarfism, as the continent was then made up of many smaller islands. Many fossil remains from the continent are smaller than those of hadrosaurs found elsewhere in the world, with only isolated remains indicating individuals of adult size by the standards of their relatives in North America and Asia. It remains possible, however, that at least some cases instead represent misidentification of juvenile remains. The presence of genuine dwarfed taxa has been validated in some cases; Contrastingly, the genus Pararhabdodon has a projected adult size similar to those of hadrosaurs on other continents, and known remains of Adynomosaurus and hadrosaurs from the Basturs Poble bonebed are of this adult size themselves. Why hadrosaurs of such variable sizes co-exist, despite being subject to the same environmental pressures, remains unclear. ==Classification==
Classification
History skull CMN 2869 of Lambeosaurus lambei The first material of hadrosaurids were found in the 1850s and named by American paleontologist Joseph Leidy: Trachodon mirabilis from Montana and Thespesius occidentalis from South Dakota in 1856, and Hadrosaurus foulkii from New Jersey in 1859. Numerous additional genera and species were described throughout the following decades, with the first discoveries in Alberta in the late 1890s and early 1900s by Canadian paleontologist Lawrence M. Lambe being ascribed to Trachodon under the subgenus Pteropelyx. }} == Distribution ==
Distribution
Lambeosaurines originated on the continent of Laurasia during the Late Cretaceous, being initially found throughout modern Europe and Asia. Around the Campanian stage, lambeosaurines of the tribe Corythosauria colonized the landmass of Laramidia (modern western North America) via Beringia and spread as far south as Mexico, radiating into a diverse array of a body plans, including famous taxa such as Parasaurolophus and Lambeosaurus. They appear to have also colonized the eastern landmass of Appalachia at some point, based on indeterminate lambeosaurine remains from the late Campanian/Maastrichtian-aged Kanguk Formation of Nunavut. ==See also==
