Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Gilmore 1933GENERIC AND SPECIFIC CHARACTERS.—Dentition reduced, twenty-three vertical rows of teeth in dentary, twenty-eight in maxillary. Posterior dorsal vertebra with tall spines, club-shaped. Sacrum with seven coössified vertebrae. Ilium strongly arched, preacetabular process decurved; ischium stout with expanded foot-like end. Pubis short with greatly expanded blade. Terminal phalanges of pes with thickened truncate anterior borders.
P. Godefroit et al. 1998Non-hadrosaurid Hadrosauroidea characterized by the long and rounded rostral processes of its jugal, bearing a very elongated and excavated maxillary facet (1); caudal process of the jugal rather narrow (2); postcotyloid process of squamosal markedly curved backwards (3); club-shaped neural spines of the last dorsal vertebrae, in fully ossified adult specimens (4); distal blade of the scapula very regularly widening towards its end, ratio "length of the scapula / maximal width of the distal blade" < 3.5 (5); promiment and angular deltopectoral crest of the humerus (6); ulnar condyle of the humerus distinctly more developed than radial condyle (7); preacetabular process of the ilium very deflected ventrally (8); ischial shaft very thick and ischial foot greatly expanded (9); femur perfectly straight in lateral view (10); ungual phalanges thick and truncated in adults (11).
The following characters are considered to be plesiomorphic in Bactrosaurus johnsoni: maxilla markedly asymmetrical in lateral view (12); about 20 maxillary and dentary tooth positions in adults (13); laterally positioned antorbital fenestra (14); paraquadrate foramen developed (15); massive supraorbitals (16); dentary rostrally downturned (17); dentary teeth bearing one caudal secondary ridge (18); large pubic peduncle (19) and simple ischial peduncle of ilium (20).
