EQUIJUBUS NORMANI You, Luo, Shubin, Witmer, Tang, and Tang, 2003 (Figs. 3.1–3.20)
Holotype IVPP V 12534, complete skull and partial postcranium of a single individual.
Diagnosis For genus and species by monotypy. Characters derived from the original diagnosis of You, Luo, et al. (2003) are marked with an asterisk (*). Basal hadrosauroid characterized by four autapomorphies: (1), rostrodorsally curved finger-like process that arises from the maxillary process of the jugal at the jugal-lacrimal contact*; (2), elongate rostral ramus of lacrimal that extends along the dorsal margin of the maxilla and terminates rostral to the apex of the ascending process of the maxilla*; (3), epipophyses present on third cervical vertebra; and (4), hyposphene present on at least dorsal vertebrae 6–8 and 11–15. Also distinguished by the following unique combination of characters: rostral ramus of lacrimal tapers to a point, ventrolateral process of premaxilla contacts prefrontal (also noted by Paul, 2008:201, as lack of contact between the lacrimal and nasal); quadrate gradually curves caudally along its entire length in lateral view (also noted by Paul, 2008:201, as “shaft nearly straight”); and convex dorsal margin of ilium (also noted by Carpenter and Ishida, 2010).
Horizon Middle Grey Unit, Xinminpu Group; Albian, Early Cretaceous (Tang et al., 2001).
