Naam beteken: “Qingxiu lizard, named after the beautiful scenery of mountains and water in Guangxi, China”1

Qingxiusaurus was a giant, long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now China. It walked on all four legs and was as heavy as several elephants. Only a few bones have been found, so scientists are still learning about this dinosaur.1 2

Prettige feite

Qingxiusaurus is known from only a few bones: two upper arm bones, two chest plates, and one spine bone from the tail.1

Its name comes from 'Qingxiu', which is short for a Chinese phrase describing the beautiful mountains and water of Guangxi.1

Scientists think Qingxiusaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous period, between about 72 and 66 million years ago.1

The chest plates of Qingxiusaurus were short compared to its arm bones, which helped scientists tell it apart from other titanosaurs.3

Qingxiusaurus belonged to a group of sauropods called titanosaurs, which were some of the largest land animals ever.1

The first fossils of Qingxiusaurus were collected in 1991, but the dinosaur was not named until 2008.1

KI-prent van Qingxiusaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Qingxiusaurus dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Vir dino-kenners
