Camptosaurus was a genus of beaked ornithischian dinosaurs that lived from the Late Jurassic period, 161.2 million to 145.5 million years ago, to the Early Cretaceous period, 145.5 million to 99.6 million years ago. This dinosaur lived in North America, and possibly also in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camptosaurus had a small thumb instead of the conical spike developed in Iguanodon. It had the characteristic \"locked\" wrist that facilitated progression on all fours. It was prehensile and may have grasped vegetation while feeding. Its hand was prehensile and may have grasped vegetation while feeding. The skull was about 15 inches long, low and massive. It had long rows of broad, leaf-shaped teeth that appeared to be adapted for feeding on plants. It had a large number of teeth in its mouth and chewed a lot to process its food properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
