Dinosaur, Hadrosaur.

Edmontosaurus was one of the largest of the “duckbilled” dinosaurs and it lived during the last few million years of the Cretaceous.  When I was a kid, scientists called it “Trachodon.”  Some time later, they thought the genus was “Anatosaurus.”  A few other names have been given to material that turned out to be the same genus and Edmontosaurus was the one deemed to be the senior synonym, the first, best-supported name.
