 Lambeosaurus

'Lambe's lizard' is named after Lawrence Lambe, an eminent Canadian paleontologist. This dinosaur gives its name to the family Lambeosauridae of which it is a member. Found in the Late Cretaceous period, remains of this crested duck-billed dinosaur have been excavated in the Edmonton Beds, Alberta, Canada; Montana, USA and Baja California, Mexico. Lambeosaurus was an herbivore with a toothless beak, rows of cheek teeth, and a square skull crest. It also had a backward pointing bony spike. This dinosaur was one of the biggest hadrosaurs, up to 50ft long.
