Laiyangosaurus ("Laiyang lizard") is a genus of saurolophine hadrosaur from the Late Cretaceous of China. It is known from one species, L.youngi, found in the Laiyang Basin within the province of Shandong. This area has yielded a considerable amount of other fossil material, including the remains of insects, plants and other vertebrates, including dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs.[1]
