Back to Dinosaurs for Kids Back to Time Lived Back to 75 Million Years Ago Back to Edmontosaurus. Named Edmontosaurus in 1917 by Lawrence Lambe, fossils of Edmontosaurus have since been found in many parts of Western North America.

Edmontosaurus was a large hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur. Like most other hadrosaurs, this animal had a toothless beak, with teeth further back in the cheeks. These teeth were arranged in a manner that allowed them to remain sharp by sliding back and forth against each other.
