Jaxartosaurus (meaning "Jaxartes lizard" after the early name of the Syr Darya) is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur similar to Corythosaurus which lived during the Late Cretaceous.
[1] The type species, J. aralensis, was first described by Anatoly Riabinin in 1937.
[1] A second species, J. fuyunensis, was described by Wu (1984) for a dentary from Xinjiang, China, but is dubious.
[2][3] Jaxartosaurus had a large crest that it may have used for visual identification, or to vocalize with members of the same species, as inferred for other lambeosaurines.
