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 ...
Changyuraptor is a genus of "four-winged", predatory dinosaurs. It is known from a single fossil specimen representing the species Changyuraptor yangi, which was discovered from Early Cretaceous (125 million year old) deposits in Liaoning Province, China. [1] C. yangi belongs to the group of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaurs called the ...
[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).
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 ...
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.
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 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.
Feast your eyes on China's "dragon" dinosaur. It roamed the earth 160 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period. "A member of the research team from the University of Alberta ...
