Edmontosaurus was one of the largest of the “duckbilled” dinosaurs.  It lived during the last few million years of the Cretaceous.  When I was a kid, scientists called it “Trachodon” and then they thought the genus was “Anatosaurus.”  A few other names have been given to this dinosaur but Edmontosaurus was the one deemed to be the senior synonym, the first proposed and best-supported name.
