Prompt used to create the image
Scientifically accurate paleoart of Edmontosaurus, a herbivore Hadrosauridae dinosaur from the late Campanian to the end of the Maastrichtian (about 73–66 million years ago). NO bony crest on the head, only a low, fleshy comb on top of the skull, and a long, low head. Reference: Edmontosaurus, often colloquially and historically known as Anatosaurus or Anatotitan, is a genus of hadrosaurid (duck-billed) dinosaur. It contains two known species: Edmontosaurus regalis and Edmontosaurus annectens. Fossils of E. regalis have been found in rocks of western North America that date from the late Campanian age of the Cretaceous period 73 million years ago, while those of E. annectens were found in the same geographic region from rocks dated to the end of the Maastrichtian age, 66 million years ago. Anatomy: a large animal about 12 meters long; a broad, flat, duck-like toothless beak; walking on all fours with the front hands forming small hoof-like pads, tail held straight out off the ground; skin of small pebbly scales. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in a humid latest-Cretaceous floodplain forest like the Hell Creek Formation of North America, with conifers, ferns and early flowering trees and shrubs, no grass. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.

Pin Edmontosaurus on the globe
Edmontosaurus was a large duck-billed dinosaur that lived in North America right up to the end of the Cretaceous and was a main prey of Tyrannosaurus. It had hundreds of grinding teeth and a long, flat head without a bony crest.
Fun facts
- Several Edmontosaurus "mummies" have been found with skin impressions; one even had a soft fleshy comb on its head like a rooster's.
- Some Edmontosaurus tail bones carry healed Tyrannosaurus bite marks: it escaped an attack and survived.
Who lived alongside it
Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Edmontosaurus (Hell Creek), 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.
