Saurolophini is a tribe of saurolophine hadrosaurid dinosaurs that existed from the Middle Campanian until the end of the Maastrichtian. Fossils of saurolophins have been found in Canada, USA, and Asia, with the North American fossils being older than the Asian, suggesting saurolophins migrated intra-continentally.[1]
