A new hadrosaur species, Ahshiselsaurus wimani, is recognized as distinct from Kritosaurus after a 1916 fossil re-evaluation in New Mexico.
Fossils from 1916 were re-examined by researchers from Penn State and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, leading to the genus reclassification.
Ahshiselsaurus wimani is over 35 feet long and weighed about nine tons, suggesting a significant presence in its late Cretaceous ecosystem.
Unlike some hadrosaurids, Ahshiselsaurus did not have a head crest, distinguishing it within the duck-billed dinosaurs.
The new species helps illuminate Hadrosaurid evolution and migration across North America during the Late Cretaceous.
The region's ecosystem included armored dinosaurs and other hadrosaurids coexisting with Ahshiselsaurus, indicating a rich Late Cretaceous environment.
Researchers suggest a broader dispersal pattern for duck-billed dinosaurs, including movements toward Canada and South America.
The Ahshiselsaurus fossil adds depth to the understanding of northern North American dinosaur ecosystems during the Late Cretaceous.
The study was published in the Bulletin of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, highlighting a formal scientific reevaluation.
