VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=16.5 suggested=12.5 confidence=medium — The 15–16.5 m figure comes from Morris's 1981 description of "Lambeosaurus" laticaudus and was superseded by the 2012 redescription, which supports a length of about 12.5 m; secondary summaries of that paper give roughly 12.5–15 m, with 16.5 m no longer supported.

VERIFY:weight_max_kg: stored=23000 suggested=10000 confidence=low — The 23-tonne mass traces to Morris's original oversized reconstruction; summaries of the 2012 revision give a much smaller animal with mass estimates on the order of 8–10 tonnes. Confidence is low because the primary 2012 paper's own mass figure was not directly verified in the sources retrieved.
