Description Parasaurolophus walkeri restoration,
• Images of Parasaurolophus skulls were used as reference.
• The skin details are speculative but based on those described for a hadrosaur
The skin shows small polygonal scales typical of dinosaurs. The size of the which varies in diferent regions of the body; normal scales ranging from 1mm to 11mm. There are also large scales every now and again which can reach up to 23mm in diameter. In general, the scales on the top of the back are twice the size of those the sides of the body.
• The colours and/or patterns, as with nearly all restorations of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.
