Parasaurolophus dinosaur and asteroid
Parasaurolophus dinosaur and asteroid. Artwork of a Parasaurolophus dinosaur startled by an asteroid about to impact off the coast. Parasaurolophus was a hadrosaurid or duck-billed dinosaur. It lived in North America during the Upper Cretaceous period, 75-65 million years ago. It was a herbivore that inhabited grassy plains where it lived in herds. Parasaurolophus reached up to 10 metres in length and weighed up to two tonnes. Scientists believe that these dinosaurs produced sound by forcing air through the hollow crests on their heads

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Science Photo Library depicts a dramatic moment in prehistoric history. In this stunning print, we see a Parasaurolophus dinosaur standing on the coast, its crest raised high as it watches an asteroid hurtling towards Earth. The sheer size and power of both the dinosaur and the impending impact are beautifully captured in this illustration. The Parasaurolophus was a herbivorous hadrosaurid that roamed North America during the Upper Cretaceous period, approximately 75-65 million years ago. Living in herds on grassy plains, these magnificent creatures reached lengths of up to 10 meters and weighed an astonishing two tonnes. One of their most distinctive features was their hollow crests, believed to have been used for producing sounds by forcing air through them. This unique adaptation is showcased here as the startled Parasaurolophus raises its crest upon spotting the approaching asteroid. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and faced unimaginable challenges such as mass extinctions caused by catastrophic events like asteroid impacts. It serves as a reminder of our planet's complex history and how life has evolved over millions of years. Science Photo Library once again brings us an awe-inspiring glimpse into our natural world with this remarkable artwork capturing both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty.
