In Depth

       Glishades is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur that lived in North America during the late Cretaceous.‭ ‬Since a paper was published suggesting that Glishades is actually an indeterminate juvenile‭ (‬Campione et al,‭ ‬2012‭)‬,‭ ‬the genus has become widely regarded as a nomen dubium.
