Product Description
Tsintaosaurus was one of the most famous hadrosaurids. Its fossil was discovered in Laiyang, Shandong Province, in 1951. Seen from the fossil, its most important feature was that the nasal bone was a hollow, rod-like structure extending forward and upward, forming a spinous crest, so the researchers named it Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus. According to the fossil, researchers reconstructed the crest of Tsintaosaurus in the shape of a stick. This used to be the most important symbol that distinguished it from other hadrosaurids.
Scientists performed CT scans and three-dimensional reconstruction of the iconic nasal bones of Tsintaosaurus to have a more accurate understanding of its entire skull. Many crested hadrosaurids had a hollow tubular structure inside the nasal bones, but Tsintaosaurus were different.
Their nasal bones were solid inside, but the crest that extended from the nasal bones forward and upward was hollow, which means that their crest could also make sounds. This is the skull of Tsintaosaurus reconstructed according to the latest research. It allows us to understand the anatomy of its head more clearly.
However, the well-known image of Tsintaosaurus was not how it really looked like. In 2020, a new study confirmed that the crest of Tsintaosaurus was not the shape of a rod that we are familiar with but wider and larger. This unique crest stretched forward and upward, unlike most hadrosaurids’ crest that stretched backward and upward.
This is our Xiaoqin the Tsintaosaurus, reconstructed based on the latest research. The wide and towering crest makes it beautiful.
