Olorotitan, a hadrosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous, was distinguished by its elaborate, helmet-like crest, which may have been used for display purposes or to produce distinctive sounds for communication. Interestingly, fossilized stomach contents of Olorotitan have revealed remnants of plants, providing valuable insights into its diet and the paleoecology of its habitat.
