Maiasaura is a genus of large, herbivorous saurolophine hadrosaurid (“duck-billed”) dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 65 to 70 million years ago. In 1978, a Maiasaura nesting site was discovered in the Two Medicine Formation near Choteau, Montana, U.S.A.
Maiasaura had a short, wide, and toothless bill, with hundreds of small teeth located further back in its mouth that were used for chewing and grinding plants. It had a low head with a small bony crest between its eyes and a long, pointed tail. Like other duck-billed dinosaurs, its hind legs were longer than its front limbs. It is estimated that Maiasaura took about seven to eight years to reach an adult length of around eight meters, with a body mass of approximately four metric tons.
