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. 2A2D), jugal (Fig. 3D), quadrate (Fig. 3C), and dentary (Figs. 4A4C). 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
