Chuanqilong was an armoured dinosaur that lived in what is now China. It had a triangular skull and its body was covered in bony plates and small knobs for protection. Scientists think it was a young animal, so a full-grown Chuanqilong might have been even bigger.1 2

Chuanqilong is known from a nearly complete skeleton, missing only the tip of its tail.2

Unlike many later armoured dinosaurs, Chuanqilong did not have a club at the end of its tail.1

The fossil was found in the Jiufotang Formation, which is about 121 to 113 million years old.3

Chuanqilong was a medium-sized ankylosaur, measuring about 4.5 metres (14.8 feet) long as a juvenile.1

Its neck was protected by special bands of bony plates called cervical half rings.1

Chuanqilong shares many similarities with another Chinese ankylosaur called Liaoningosaurus, and scientists think they might be closely related.1 2
