Qianzhousaurus (meaning "Qianzhou lizard") is a genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period. There is currently only one species named, the type species Qianzhousaurus sinensis, which is a member of the tribe Alioramini and most closely related to Alioramus, the only other known alioramin.
Described as lacking advanced tail feathers and long "hind wings", unlike other paravians, but this may be an artifact of preservation [41] Epidexipteryx: 2008 Haifanggou Formation (Middle Jurassic, Callovian) China: Supported four long feathers coming out from an abbreviated tail Equijubus: 2003 Xinminbao Group (Early Cretaceous, Albian) China
The alioramin genera of Qianzhousaurus and Alioramus, however, were the exception, as they were more comparable in built to albertosaurines and have longirostrine snouts. [27] Like albertosaurines, tyrannosaurines also had heterodont dentition, large heads design to catch and kill their prey, and short didactyl arms.
The first feather impressions were found in the holotype specimen, consisting of short, slender filamentous feathers on the left arm. These impressions indicated that the body was predominately covered by downy feather-like fibers, similar to those of Sinosauropteryx , but longer, and oriented perpendicular to the arm.
The Asiatyrannus holotype is about half the length of the contemporary Qianzhousaurus. However, the holotype of Asiatyrannus did not belong to a skeletally mature individual, and as such, it would have been larger when fully grown. Nevertheless, it had probably passed through the life stages of most rapid growth, and other tyrannosaurines in ...
The Javan rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) once roamed across many countries in Southeast Asia. Around 2,000 years ago, they were still common in many parts of China. Around 12,000 years ago, they ...
A. altai skeletal diagram, known portions in yellow. The holotype (PIN 3141/1) of Alioramus is a partial skull associated with three metatarsals.A joint Soviet-Mongolian expedition to the Gobi Desert in the early 1970s found these remains at a locality known as Nogon-Tsav in the Mongolian province of Bayankhongor, Nemegt Formation.
Back when Josie first created the group, there weren’t many similar communities, which left an unfilled niche. "There weren't many Google Earth groups when I created my one," she told Bored ...
