Misconception
Found does not mean lived exactly there
Fossil sites are modern discovery locations. Rock movement, erosion, collection history, and incomplete datasets all shape the map.

FAQ
Common questions about Parasaurolophus fossil locations
Where is Parasaurolophus best known from?
Parasaurolophus is best represented here by records tied to Kirtland, Fruitland, and Dinosaur Park context. Fossil Atlas maps selected source-backed records rather than every published specimen.
Is the Parasaurolophus map an ancient habitat map?
No. The map shows modern discovery locations where fossils were found or reported today. Ancient habitat and paleogeography are separate reconstructions.
Can I make a Parasaurolophus expedition card?
Yes. The Parasaurolophus profile feeds the expedition card generator with the animal image, selected records, stats, and visible evidence caveats.
