NcZ) "Anasazi lizard"
ahn-ah-SAH-zee-SAWR-us (Anasazi (from Navajo 'anaasazi "ancient ones")
+ Gr. sauros "lizard") (m)
named for the ancient Anasazi people, who lived in Chaco Canyon near the type locality
where the fossil was found in New Mexico; for a hook-nosed skull attributed to the species
Kritosaurus navajovius by Jack Horner in 1992. Hunt and Lucas considered
Kritosaurus a nomen dubium, based on undiagnostic type material,
and proposed the new name for a taxon distinguished by "possessing a short,
posteriorly folded nasal crest that is above the level of the frontals,
but does not extend posterior to the anterior end of the frontals."
Ornithopoda Hadrosauridae Hadrosaurinae L. Cret. NA.
