A new record for smallest dino eggs ever discovered. The most complete egg, which also happens to be the smallest, measures about 29 millimeters (about 1.14 inches), according to China University ...
Life restoration. Three fossils of Beishanlong were found in the early twenty-first century in Northwestern China at the White Ghost Castle site, in the province of Gansu.The type species is Beishanlong grandis, described and named online in 2009 by a team of Chinese and American paleontologists, and formally published in January 2010 by the same Peter Makovicky, Li Daiqing, Gao Keqin, Matthew ...
Olsen et al. (2022) present evidence from the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic strata of the Junggar Basin (northwest China) indicating that during the early Mesozoic dinosaurs were present at arctic latitudes with freezing winter temperatures, and argue that non-avian dinosaurs were likely primitively insulated and that their insulation ...
Yinlong was a relatively small dinosaur, reaching 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length and 10 kg (22 lb) in body mass. [3] Despite a virtually frill-less and totally hornless skull, Yinlong is a ceratopsian. Its skull is deep and wide and relatively large compared to most ornithischians, but also proportionately smaller than most other ceratopsians.
The Yuanyanglong fossil material, was discovered in 2021 in sediments of the Miaogou Formation (Maortu locality) in the Gobi Desert of Chilantai, Inner Mongolia, China.Two incomplete skeletons were found in association on the same block, which are assumed to represent the same species based on comparable anatomy and body size.
Lingwulong is a genus of dicraeosaurid sauropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic of what is now Lingwu, Yinchuan, Ningxia, China. The type and only species is L. shenqi, known from several partial skeletons. It is the earliest-aged neosauropod ever discovered, as well as the only definite diplodocoid from east Asia. [1]
The discovery of an ornithischian dinosaur in this context is notable; it likely happened to be washed into the lake after its death. [ 2 ] After being announced in December 2024 as a non-finalized preprint , Yao et al. (2025) described Archaeocursor asiaticus as a new genus and species of early ornithischians based on this fossil specimen.
[1] In 2024, Xing et al. described Datai yingliangis as a new genus and species of ankylosaurine dinosaur based on these fossil remains. The generic name , ' Datai ' , is a composite of the last characters of the Chinese words 'tongda' (to understand/to be sensible) and 'antai' (stable).
