Description
Tsintaosaurus was a hadrosaur (duck-billed dinosaur) found in China. Its name means 'Qindao lizard'. Like other hadrosaurs it walked on all fours, but was also capable of locomotion on its rear legs alone. They probably lived in herds.
Discovery
Tsintaosaurus was first discovered at Hsikou in eastern China in 1950. Other remains have since been extracted from the Jingangkou Formation.
Paleoecology
The Jingangkou Formation was a dry environment, but one that supported a diverse range of wildlife.
