Uzbekbaatar Uzbekbaatar is a genus of extinct mammal from the Upper Cretaceous of Uzbekistan. It was a member of the extinct order of Multituberculata. It's within the suborder of Cimolodonta, though its further affinities are unclear. The genus was named by Kielan-Jaworowska Z. and Nessov L.A. in 1992 and means "Uzbek hero". The one species named by Kielan-Jaworowska and Nessov is Uzbekbaatar kizylkumensis, found in the Upper Cretaceous strata of Uzbekistan. A second species was also apparently described by Averianov in 1999. References - Kielan-Jaworowska and Nessov (1992), Multituberculate mammals from the Cretaceous of Uzbekistan.
