I know what a Parasaurolophus and a Saurolophus are, what I was trying to say is that this particular image of the Saurolophus looks more Parasaurolophus-like than others I've seen before (the crest and all) and I was wondering if there had been new discoveries that inspired this picture. :/ I think I didn´t explain myself correctly.

There are complete skulls known for both - Parasaurolophus had a more elongated crest with large nasal tubes running through the crest, whereas the two species of Saurolophus had more of a spike.
