Corythosaurus /kɒ'rɪ.θɒ.sʊə.rʊs/ meaning 'helmet lizard' because of the shape of its crest (Greek korythos meaning 'helmet' and sauros meaning 'lizard') was a duck-billed dinosaur genus from the Upper Cretaceous Period, about 80 million years ago.
Corythosaurus weighed in at 4 tonnes and measured roughly 10 metres (35 ft) from nose to tail.
It was once thought that this dinosaur lived mostly in the water, due to the appearance of webbed hands and feet.

 ISGS: Where Corythosaurus lived and ate?
The duckbill Corythosaurus is easily distinguished by the feature for which it was named--the helmet-like crest atop its head, resembling the helmet of a Corinthian soldier.
The head of Corythosaurus is high, narrow, and "compressed" from side to side.
Today it is believed that the crest in Corythosaurus and other hadrosaurids served other functions, perhaps increasing the animal's sense of smell, or its capacity for sound production.

Corythosaurus would grasp a mouthful of leaves, fruit, or water plants in its mouth; then it would clamp its flat bill shut and strip the food from the plant.
Although Corythosaurus had no teeth in front of its mouth, the back of each jaw was lined with rows of up to 2,000 tightly packed teeth.
Recent studies suggest that the air passages in the crest may have given Corythosaurus a loud cry that it used to communicate with other dinosaurs.

But the prize specimen found by Brown was a skeleton of what he called Corythosaurus, after the helmet-shaped crest on the skull.
The first specimen was found in 1912 and proved to be virtually complete and articulated, with even some skin impressions on one side.
It is doubtful that Brown really thought that a Corythosaurus, having swum through life, would maintain this same posture as it died and awaited fossilization.
