Naam beteken: “giant from Xinjiang”1

Het geëet: PlanteLangnekkeMiddel-Jura tot Vroeë Kryt

Xinjiangtitan was a gigantic, long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now China. Its neck was the longest complete neck ever found on any animal, stretching almost 15 metres (49 feet). It was one of the longest dinosaurs ever discovered, as long as a blue whale!1

Prettige feite

Xinjiangtitan's neck had 18 vertebrae and was nearly 15 metres (49 feet) long, the longest complete neck of any known animal.1

Its thigh bone (femur) was 1.65 metres (5.4 feet) long, taller than most adult humans.1

The backbone of Xinjiangtitan is one of the most complete vertebral columns ever found for a sauropod in Asia.1

Xinjiangtitan lived during the Middle Jurassic period, about 164 million years ago.1

Scientists think Xinjiangtitan weighed up to 40 metric tons (44 short tons), as much as a herd of elephants.1

Xinjiangtitan had some features similar to diplodocid dinosaurs, like a short hind limb and a special bump on its pubis bone.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Xinjiangtitan
Benoem deur: Wu et al. 20134
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Mamenchisauridae4
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 168 tot 143 miljoen jaar (Bathonian / Tithonian)4
Rotsformasies: Qiketai4
Lande: China4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Xinjiangtitan was discovered in 2012 by a joint expedition from Jilin University, Shenyang Normal University, and the Xinjiang Geological Survey Institute. It was named in 2013 by Wu Wen-hao, Zhou Chang-fu, Oliver Wings, Toru Sekiya, and Dong Zhiming.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists still debate whether the species name should be spelled 'shanshanesis' or 'shanshanensis', and whether the fossils come from the Middle Jurassic Qiketai Formation or the Late Jurassic Qigu Formation.1 2
