Jeyawati (meaning "grinding mouth" in the Zuni language) is a genus of hadrosauroiddinosaur which lived during the Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous. The type species, J. rugoculus, was described in 2010, based on fossils recovered in the U.S. state of New Mexico.[1]
The holotype, MSM P4166, was discovered in the Moreno Hill Formation. A cladisticanalysis indicates that Jeyawati was more plesiomorphic (ancestral) than Shuangmiaosaurus, Telmatosaurus, and Bactrosaurus, but more derived (less like the common ancestor) than Eolambia, Probactrosaurus, and Protohadros.[1]
