See Xuwulong and Geologic time scale

Hadrosauroidea

Hadrosauroidea is a clade or superfamily of ornithischian dinosaurs that includes the "duck-billed" dinosaurs, or hadrosauridae, and all dinosaurs more closely related to them than to Iguanodon.

See Xuwulong and Hadrosauroidea

Holotype

See Xuwulong and Holotype

Pelvis

The pelvis (pelves or pelvises) is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region), together with its embedded skeleton (sometimes also called bony pelvis or pelvic skeleton).

See Xuwulong and Pelvis

See Xuwulong and Skeleton

Skull

The skull is a bone protective cavity for the brain.

See Xuwulong and Skull

Type species
