Prettige feite

Dashanpusaurus lived about 165 million years ago, during the Middle Jurassic period.1

It was one of the earliest known neosauropods, the group that includes many of the largest dinosaurs.2

The first fossils of Dashanpusaurus were found in the Dashanpu quarry, which is only 7 kilometres from Zigong city.1

Its species name, dongi, honors the famous Chinese paleontologist Dong Zhiming.1

Scientists used to think Dashanpusaurus was a camarasaurid, but new studies show it is a macronarian, a more advanced group.1 2

The Dashanpusaurus fossils include many bones like vertebrae, a pelvis, and leg bones, but no skull has been found.1
