About Kazaklambia
What it was like
Kazaklambia was a lambeosaurine duckbill, a plant eater that probably had a hollow crest. Its skeleton comes from a young animal, so the crest is only beginning to form.
Its world
It lived in the Late Cretaceous, in what is now Kazakhstan. It comes from the Dabrazhin Formation.
How it was found
Bell and Brink named Kazaklambia in 2013, for bones first placed in another duckbill. It is one of the most complete dinosaurs found in Kazakhstan.
