Table 1. Selected cranial measurements (in mm) of the YPM-PU 22400 perinatal specimens of Maiasaura peeblesorum.
Measurements are taken on the most complete maxilla (Figs. 2A–2D), jugal (Fig. 3D), quadrate (Fig. 3C), and dentary (Figs. 4A–4C). All other maxillae, jugal, quadrate, and dentaries are of a size similar to that of the measured bones.
| Element | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Maxilla, total length | 60 |
| Maxilla, height from ventral margin to apex of dorsal process (incomplete) | 20 |
| Maxilla, length of ectopterygoid shelf | 25 |
| Maxilla, maximum width across ectopyerygoid shelf | 14 |
| Jugal, length from incomplete rostral process to incomplete quadratojugal flange | 42 |
| Jugal, height from ventral margin to incomplete apex of postorbital process | 23 |
| Quadrate, height from lateral condyle to articular head | 61 |
| Dentary, total length | 58 |
| Dentary, dental battery length | 49 |
| Dentary, maximum dental battery depth | 22 |
| Dentary, maximum depth of mandibular ramus | 19 |
| Dentary, width at mid-length of the dental battery | 12 |
