Description: Telmatosaurus is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago. It was a large, plant-eating dinosaur that was characterized by its duck-billed snout and broad, flat teeth that were well-suited for grinding plant material. Telmatosaurus was probably a herd animal, and it is thought to have lived in a variety of habitats including forests, swamps, and floodplains. It was a common dinosaur in its time and is known from a number of fossil specimens that have been found in Europe, including Romania and Hungary. The type species of Telmatosaurus is T. transsylvanicus, which was named by paleontologist Franz Nopcsa in 1923.
