ChatGPT

  1. trachodon

    Trachodon is a dubious genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period. It was named based on very scant material from Montana, United States. Many species have been named, but virtually all of them have been found to be based on material insufficient to separate from other known hadrosaurids. As such, the validity of the Trachodon genus is controversial among paleontologists, with many considering it less informative and more ambiguous.

Wikidata

  1. Trachodon

    Trachodon is a dubious genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur based on teeth from the Campanian-age Upper Cretaceous Judith River Formation of Montana, U.S.A. It is a historically important genus with a convoluted taxonomy that has been all but abandoned by modern dinosaur paleontologists. Despite being used for decades as the iconic duckbill dinosaur per antonomasia the material it is based on is composed of teeth from both duckbills and ceratopsids, and its describer, Joseph Leidy, came to recognize the difference and suggested limiting the genus to what would now be seen as ceratopsid teeth. Restricted to the duckbill teeth, it may have been a lambeosaurine.
