Side view of a Parasaurolophus skeleton against a rocky backdrop.  It looks quadropedal, but its front limbs are much smaller than its hind limbs.  It has a big bony crest on top of its head.

Parasaulopohus was a kind of hadrosaurid with a big crest on its head. It was herbivorous and lived during the Cretaceous. Since this isn't a dinosaur of the month I will leave you to read the fairly extensive Wikipedia article if you wish to know more.

Oooooh!!!!! I've got one of these! As a plastic toy, I mean, not a fossil (sadly). It's in the loft somewhere with other dinosaur toys. I've got a vague feeling it was bought in America.
