Prettige feite

Yunmenglong's neck bones were very long and had deep hollows called pleurocoels, which helped make its neck light.2

Its thigh bone (femur) was about 1.92 metres (6.3 feet) long, showing it was a giant.1

Yunmenglong lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 121 to 100 million years ago.3

It is part of a group of long-necked sauropods that includes Euhelopus, Qiaowanlong, and Erketu.2

The name Yunmenglong means 'Yunmeng dragon', named after the Yunmengshan area where its fossils were found.1

Scientists think Yunmenglong may have been closely related to other Asian long-necked dinosaurs, forming a unique group.2

KI-prent van Yunmenglong — 'n KI-prent van hoe Yunmenglong 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: Yunmenglong
Benoem deur: Lü et al. 20134
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Somphospondyli4
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda > Macronaria4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 121 tot 100 miljoen jaar (Aptian / Albian)4
Rotsformasies: Haoling4
Lande: China4

Ontdekking: Yunmenglong was named and described in 2013 by Junchang Lü and colleagues, based on an incomplete skeleton found in the Haoling Formation of the Ruyang Basin, Henan Province, China.2 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating exactly how Yunmenglong is related to other long-necked sauropods, and whether it belongs in a special Asian group.2
