Bactrosaurus johnsoni Ornithischia Ornithopoda

Skeleton of Bactrosaurus
Bactrosaurus is a herbivorous dinosaur and was discovered from the same horizon as Archaeornithomimus. This taxon has more derived characters than iguanodontids, for instance, in having three stacked dentary teeth per tooth position and miniaturization of the maxillary teeth. Other characters suggest that this dinosaur is more primitive than hadrosaurid dinosaurs.
