Description
project: DINOSAURIA
specimen 019
OURANOSAURUS NIGERIENSIS
"Nigerian Brave Lizard"
Taquet, 1976
Length: 8.3m (27ft)
Weight: 2.2 tonnes (2.4 tons)
Location: Agadez, Niger
Era: Aptian age, lower Cretaceous (110 million years ago)
Classification:
Dinosauria
Ornithischia
Cerapoda
Ornithopoda
Iguanodontia
Dryomorpha
Ankylopollexia
Styracosterna
Hadrosauriformes
Hadrosauroidea
Notes:
Ouranosaurus showcases an interesting mix of anatomical features, even outside of its raised neural spinal columns superficially similar to those seen in the theropod Spinosaurus: it has (albeit small) thumb spikes akin to Iguanodon yet has the distinctly flat bill of a Hadrosaurid, suggesting that it sits somewhere in the middle in evolutionary terms.

The baharia formation iguanodont would be Ouranosaurus SP like WDHGK says.
