Claosaurus agilis

Described by O. C. Marsh in 1872 from the Niobrara Chalk of Kansas, Claosaurus agilis is the type species of Claosaurus, its name meaning 'agile broken lizard.' It counts among the earliest hadrosaurid dinosaurs known from North America - a slender biped about four metres long that inhabited the coastal environments bordering the Western Interior Seaway during the Late Cretaceous.

† Claosaurus的模式种C. agilis（"敏捷的碎蜥蜴"）由O.C. Marsh于1872年根据堪萨斯州尼奥布拉拉白垩层的化石描述。作为北美最早的鸭嘴龙科恐龙之一，它是一种体长约4米的纤细两足动物，晚白垩世时栖息于西部内陆海道附近的海岸环境。

时代

Cretaceous Late Mesozoic 代

Claosaurus agilis 生活在距今约 100.5 至 66.0 百万年前的 Mesozoic 代 Cretaceous Late 纪。

恐龙时代的最终篇章，出现了霸王龙、三角龙、伶盗龙等标志性物种。恐龙在奇克苏鲁陨石撞击终结中生代之前达到了多样性顶峰。
