Analong was named in 2021 after scientists realized that a skeleton previously thought to be a different dinosaur (Chuanjiesaurus) was actually a new species.1

The bones of Analong were found still lying in the ground at Lufeng Dinosaur Valley, where visitors can see them on display.1

Analong lived about 170 to 168 million years ago, during the Middle Jurassic Period, in a place that was once a playa lakebed.2

Analong is the earliest branching member of the mamenchisaur family, meaning it split off from other mamenchisaurs earlier than any other known species.1

The hip bone (pubis) of Analong was unusually wide at its lower end, about 40% of its total length, which is the widest among all mamenchisaurs.1
