Gilmoreosaurus is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. Gilmoreosaurus kysylumensis is considered a nomen dubium because it is described from teeth only, though other species preserve more material. It is believed, however, to be a hadrosaur or iguanodont. It lived in Asia, and one specimen was described formally as Gilmoreosaurus atavus by Nessov in 1995. Some Gilmoreosaurus fossils show evidence of cancerous growths on the tails.[citation needed]
