In Depth
At times the skull of Naashoibitosaurus has been attributed to Kritosaurus, while the post cranial skeleton attributed to Edmontosaurus. This is because the skull has been challenged as representing a growth stage of Kritosaurus, though other studies have shown that it is different enough to be regarded as its own genus. Currently however, Naashoibitosaurus is only known from a small number of fossils, and further clarification about the genus is reliant upon future fossil discoveries and studies.
With a reconstructed skull length of eighty-three centimetres, Naashoibitosaurus would be expected to be a moderately large hadrosaur.
