In Depth
Tlatolophus is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived in Mexico during the late Cretaceous. Although a lot of the post cranial skeleton was unknown at the time of the genus description, what is known, including the skull, represents one of the best preserved lambeosaurine hadrosaurs discovered in Mexico. Like others of its kind, Tlatolophus would have been a plant eating dinosaur, mostly quadrupedal but still capable of bipedal locomotion. Tlatolophus had a large crest rising up from above and back from the top of its skull.
