The fossils were found near a village in Hechuan, north of Chongqing (originally part of the Sichuan Province), China; 200 meters (660 ft) above the Fu River on the slope of a mountain. [10] The M. hochuanensis fossil site also belonged to the Upper Shaximiao Formation, very close to the M. constructus type specimen's location, dating to at ...
Zhenyuanlong was one of eighteen dinosaur taxa from 2015 to be described in open access or free-to-read journals.
