[edit] More species?
I have a personal record of other species, C. brevicristutis, C. excavatus, and C. intermedius. Can anyone else verify these?Ninjatacoshell 19:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- C. brevicristatus and C. excavatus are synonyms of C. casuarius. C. intermedius is indeed a different species. There is also a possible third species C. convincens described by Rozhdestvensky in 1968. ArthurWeasley 20:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- If that's the case then the article should be edited accordingly. At the moment it implies there is only one recognised species, C. casuarius. Mgiganteus1 15:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- C. intermedius is accepted as a variant on C, casuarius nowadays as far as I know, although it and bicristatus are the funkiest-looking ones. J. Spencer 15:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Olorotitan
I was looking at the Lambeosaurinae cladogram on the Hadrosaurid page and it seems to suggest that Olorotitan is more closly related to corythosaurus than say Hypacrosaurus and Lambeosaurus. Is this true as they certainly don't look that similar skull wise? Steveoc 86 16:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- That's what Evans and Reisz found. It may not be correct, of course, but skulls can be misleading (Horner and co. in The Dinosauria found Prosaurolophus and Saurolophus to not be closely related, after all). J. Spencer 18:10, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Do you think it should be added in as a reletive or should we leave it out for now? Also thinking of doing a corythosaurus species (and/or) a gender and age diagram. But the artical seems to have more than enough illustrations. Steveoc 86 18:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'd put it in, simply because it's so darn cool. All Hypacrosaurus could do is copy Corythosaurus with less style and more vertebral fin. :) J. Spencer 18:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JP Corythosaurs.JPG
Image:JP Corythosaurs.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
