The Giving of December. Kerberosaurus

Because of‭ ‬a‭ ‬current lack of fossils for this genus,‭ ‬the only thing that can be said with any certainty is that Kerberosaurus was a saurolophine hadrosaurid,‭ ‬the group of hadrosaurs noted‭ ‬to have solid head crests like those of Saurolophus.‭ ‬The skull remains of Kerberosaurus were discovered in a bone bed of other Mesozoic animals including the lambeosaurine hadrosaurid Amurosaurus,‭ ‬though as a saurolophine hadrosaurid,‭ ‬Kerberosaurus would have been a distantly related but similar hadrosaur as Amurosaurus‭ (‬lambeosaurine hadrosaurids like Amurosaurus are so named because they have hollow head crests similar to that of the groups type genus Lambeosaurus‭)‬.
