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 ...
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 ...
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.
The Datai fossil material was discovered in 2016, in sediments of the Zhoutian Formation in Mazhou, Huichang County, Jiangxi Province, China. The fossils were then obtained by the Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum two years later, where they are currently stored. The two known specimens—representing different ages of immaturity—were ...
DNA analysis found the new species had between 2.5% and about 13% genetic divergence from other bush frogs. The research team included Lingyun Du, Yuhan Xu, Shuo Liu and Guohua Yu.
Zhenyuanlong was one of eighteen dinosaur taxa from 2015 to be described in open access or free-to-read journals. [3] The holotype, JPM-0008, was found in the Sihedang locality of Jianchang County of northeastern China's Yixian Formation, which dates from the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous (125–113 million years ago). The holotype ...
Size compared to a human. Huaxiazhoulong is a large ankylosaurid, with an estimated body length of 6 metres (20 ft). The holotype specimen likely represents a mature individual, as evidenced by the fusion of the neural arches to the vertebral centrum, the co-ossified scapula and coracoid, high olecranon process of the ulna, and proximal fusion of the anterior and greater trochanters on the femur.
Skull fragments, teeth and jaws found at different sites in China have led some researchers to believe they have found the remains of a previously unknown ancient human relative.
