Gongpoquansaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now China during the Early Cretaceous. It had a beak and walked on four legs, but could probably run on two legs when it needed to. This dinosaur is one of the many amazing creatures found in the Mazongshan Dinosaur Fauna.1 2

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Gongpoquansaurus was first thought to be a species of Probactrosaurus, but scientists later gave it its own name in 2014.1

Its fossils were found in the Zhonggou Formation, which is about 113 to 110 million years old.3

This dinosaur lived alongside other plant-eaters like Auroraceratops and the huge therizinosaur Suzhousaurus.2

Gongpoquansaurus is a basal hadrosauroid, meaning it was an early relative of the duck-billed dinosaurs.1

The name Gongpoquansaurus comes from the Gongpoquan Basin where its bones were dug up.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Gongpoquansaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Gongpoquansaurus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Gongpoquansaurus

?How big was Gongpoquansaurus?

Scientists do not know its exact size because only a partial skull and skeleton have been found. It was a medium-sized hadrosauroid, but no precise length or weight is given in the sources.1

?What did Gongpoquansaurus eat?

It was a plant-eater. It had a beak for cropping plants and teeth for chewing them, like other hadrosauroids.1

?When did Gongpoquansaurus live?

It lived during the Early Cretaceous, about 113 to 110 million years ago (Albian stage).1

Inikwe igama ngu:: You et al. 20144
Iqela: Izitya-zityalo ezinemilomo
Usapho / iclade: Hadrosauroidea4
Ukuhlelwa: Ornithischia > Ornithopoda > Iguanodontia4
Ubudala bamatye: 113 ukuya ku-110 izigidi zeminyaka (Albian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Zhonggou4
Amazwe: iTshayina4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: The first fossils of Gongpoquansaurus were collected in 1992 during the Sino-Japanese Silk Road Dinosaur Expedition. Chinese paleontologist Lü Junchang named it Probactrosaurus mazongshanensis in 1997, and then You Hailu and colleagues gave it the new name Gongpoquansaurus in 2014.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating exactly how Gongpoquansaurus is related to other hadrosauroids, and whether it is closer to or farther from the true duck-billed dinosaurs than Probactrosaurus.1
