Saurolophus was a Laurasian hadrosaur that was 7 tonnes and 12 meters long, lived during the Cretaceous 69-68 MYA, had a crest, and was a cousin of the North American hadrosaur Maiasaura, but only distantly related to Parasaurolophus itself.

S. angustirostris, the Mongolian species, was larger; the type skeleton is roughly 12 meters long (39.4 ft), and larger remains are reported. Aside from size, the two species are virtually identical, with differentiation hindered by lack of study. The most distinctive feature of Saurolophus is its cranial crest, which is present in young individuals but is smaller. It is long and spike-like and projects upward and backward at about a 45 degree angle, starting from over the eyes. This crest is often described as solid, but appears to be solid only at the point, with internal chambers that may have had a respiratory and/or heat-regulation function.
- The North American species S. osborni is noticably smaller than the Asian S. angustirostris.
