Parts found as fossils

  • Skull
  • Shoulder girdle and chest
  • Hind leg

Converted automatically from the Paleobiology Database's specimen records and not checked by a person. Those records mostly list measured limb bones and skulls, so this shows only some of the bones that have been found.

Coloured areas have at least one bone in PBDB's specimen records. Faint areas are not in those records, which does not mean they have not been found. The outline is a general shape for its group, not this dinosaur's real body.

Who lived alongside it

Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Corythosaurus (Dinosaur Park), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.

Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.
