Arenysaurus was a lambeosaurine, a member of the hadrosaurid subfamily with hollow and decorative cranial crests.[1] It is one of the most complete and best dated ever found in the Late Cretaceous period.[2]
Description
Arenysaurus was a medium-sized hadrosaur, measuring 5–6 metres (16–20 ft) long and weighing 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons).[1][3] Its fossils were found in a small village (350 inhabitants) in the Aragonese Pyrenees called Arén (Areny in Catalan). The townspeople of Areny worked day and night helping the paleontologists. For this reason the paleontologists dedicated the dig site to Areny. The original bones can be seen in a museum that was built in the town. The museum also houses reconstructions and videos of the dig. An exact replica has been constructed of the bones from where the Arenysaurus fossils were found in the very position which they were found.[2]
