The story in short
The genus Glishades dates to 2010, the year A. Prieto-Márquez described it.
Fossils referred to Glishades date to the Late Cretaceous (Campanian), roughly 83.6 to 72.2 million years ago. Finds come from the United States, including the Two Medicine Formation. It was a herbivore and could move on two or four legs.
The fossils of Glishades are too incomplete for a responsible length, hip height, or weight, so those fields are left blank on purpose.
On the family tree it sits in Hadrosauroidea, among the ornithopod dinosaurs.
