Prettige feite

Yunganglong lived about 100 to 84 million years ago, during the early Late Cretaceous.3

The only known skeleton is a partial one, including parts of the skull, backbone, hips, and leg bones.1

Yunganglong was a basal hadrosauroid, meaning it was an early cousin of the duck-billed dinosaurs like Edmontosaurus.2

The skull of Yunganglong was wide and low, with a width of 37 cm (14.6 in) between its paroccipital processes.2

Its fossils were found alongside remains of ankylosaurs and ceratopsians, other plant-eating dinosaurs.1

The name Yunganglong honors the Yungang Grottoes, ancient Buddhist cave temples about 50 km east of the fossil site.1

KI-prent van Yunganglong — 'n KI-prent van hoe Yunganglong 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

Wetenskaplike naam: Yunganglong
Benoem deur: Wang et al. 20135
Groep: Plantvreters met snawels
Familie / klade: Hadrosauroidea5
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Ornithopoda > Iguanodontia5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 100 tot 84 miljoen jaar (Cenomanian / Santonian)5
Rotsformasies: Zhumapu5
Lande: China5
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database5
Ontdekking: Yunganglong was named in 2013 by a team of Chinese scientists led by Run-Fu Wang. The fossils were found in 2011 during a project to find dinosaurs for the Shanxi Museum of Geology.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how old the rocks are that contained Yunganglong, because no radiometric dates have been obtained for the Zhumapu Formation.2
