Chasmosaurus (name meaning: Opening Lizard) is a genus of ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now North America.

In the Series 2 episode "Super Croc II: River of Death", a herd of Chasmosaurus (consisting of five adults, and five juveniles) were brought to the park from Late Cretaceous Alberta 75 million years ago. They reside in the Ceratopsian Grasslands Enclosure and recently welcomed hatchlings into the herd.
