Shuangmiaosaurus is a herbivorous ornithischian dinosaur genus that existed around 100 million years ago even during the early Cretaceous period. This was from Asia and China.
You Hailu, Li Yinxian and Ji Qiang Li Jinglu identified and described the type species, Shuangmiaosaurus gilmorei, in 2003. The generic version relates to the finding place, the hamlet of Shuangmiao in Beipiao, Liaoning Province. Charles Whitney Gilmore, an American paleontologist, is commemorated by the particular name.
It comprises of a portion of the left upper and lower jaws, including that of the maxilla, a portion of the praemaxilla, and components of the lacrimal and dentary. Shuangmiaosaurus was a huge euornithopod.
Gregory S. Paul assessed its length at 24.6 ft (7.5 m) and weight at 5511.6 lb (2500 kg) in 2010.
Shuangmiaosaurus was previously thought to be a primitive member of the Hadrosauroidea, closely linked to the Hadrosauridae. Subsequent writers, like David B. Norman who was from Cambridge University, believe it a more basic sister of the Iguanodontia from outside the Hadrosauroidea.
