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 ...
Six small non-avian dinosaur eggs, no bigger than grapes, were discovered during a field study in Ganzhou, China, in 2021. These eggs now mark the smallest-ever found in the world. A new record ...
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.
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).
Ruyangosaurus shared its habitat with Xianshanosaurus, "Huanghetitan" ruyangensis, Yunmenglong, Luoyanggia, and Zhongyuansaurus.The horizon of Ruyangosaurus was originally described as being of "early Late Cretaceous" age, [1] but recent work has assigned it an Aptian-Albian Age based on fieldwork and analysis of invertebrate and microfossil assemblages.
Xianshanosaurus (Chinese: 岘山龙; pinyin: xiànshānlóng) [1] is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) of the Ruyang Basin in Henan Province, China. Its type and only species is Xianshanosaurus shijiagouensis. It was described in 2009 by a team of paleontologists led by Lü Junchang.
In 2024, Ning et al. described Baiyinosaurus baojiensis as a new genus and species of stegosaurian dinosaurs based on these fossil remains. The generic name , Baiyinosaurus , combines a reference to Baiyin—the city where the holotype was found—with with the Greek " σαῦρος " (" sauros "), meaning "reptile".
