Brachylophosaurus (/brəˌkɪləfəˈsɔːrəs/brə-KIL-ə-fə-SOR-əs or /ˌbrækiˌloʊfəˈsɔːrəs/brak-i-LOH-fə-SOR-əs; meaning "short-crested lizard", Greek brachys = short + lophos = crest + sauros = lizard, referring to its small crest) was a mid-sized member of the hadrosaurid family of dinosaurs. It is known from several skeletons and bonebed material from the Judith River Formation of Montana, the Wahweap Formation of Utah and the Oldman Formation of Alberta,[1] living about 81-76.7 million years ago.[2]
