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.
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 ...
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.

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".
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.
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.
