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 ...
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.
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 type and only species is L. shenqi, known from several partial skeletons. It is the earliest-aged neosauropod ever discovered, as well as the only definite diplodocoid from east Asia. [1]
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.
[1] 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".
