The Giving of December. Aralosaurus

  Out of all the hadrosaurs‭ (‬popularly known as duckbilled dinosaurs‭) ‬Aralosaurus is noted for having extremely little in the way of fossil material attributed to it‭; ‬a piece of the skull.‭ ‬This piece however does suggest the presence of an arched nasal area similar to that seen in other genera such as Gryposaurus which might suggest a saurolophine lineage for Aralosaurus.‭ ‬Other information that is occasionally attributed to this dinosaur in other sources is done so as a result of comparisons to other much better documented genera.
       Another hadrosaurid dinosaur from Kazakhstan is Jaxartosaurus.
