Researchers compared the specimen's 350 bones with those of 70 types of duck-billed dinosaurs, or hadrosaurids.
The ascending portion of the dinosaur's jaw is also shorter than other duck-billed dinosaurs.
The discovery offered scientists further proof of the diversity and adaptability of hadrosaurids, as few duck-billed dinosaurs have been found in marine deposits.
