Tlatolophus

Tlatolophus (meaning "word crest") is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur belonging to the tribe Parasaurolophini.

The holotype, specimen CIC/P/147, was first discovered as a semi-articulated tail in 2005 in sediments of the Cerro del Pueblo Formation in Coahuila, Mexico.

[2] The holotype specimen of Tlatolophus, CIC/P/147, represents a large individual, around 8 metres (26 ft) in length.

The nasal cavity occupies the structure's entirety, including the caudal end of the supracranial crest which is comma-shaped, hence the binomial name.
