名字的意思： “Gong River dragon”1

吃：植物鴨嘴龍類白堊紀晚期

Gongshuilong was a duck-billed dinosaur that lived in China near the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. It had a tall, sail-like tail made of extra-long bones, which made it look really cool. This plant-eater is special because it is the first named hadrosaur from South China!1

酷東西

趣味知識

Gongshuilong's tail bones were super long, making the tail look like a sail. The neural spines were 8.5 times as tall as the bones they attached to, which is unique among all iguanodontian dinosaurs.1

It was a medium-sized hadrosaur, about 7 metres (23 feet) long, which is about as long as a small school bus.1

Gongshuilong is the second brachylophosaurin found in Asia, after Wulagasaurus. Most of its close relatives lived in North America, so it helps show that this group might have started in Asia.1

The fossils were found in a bonebed with at least two individuals, because scientists found two left lower jaws, two shoulder blades, and two shin bones of different sizes.1

Its name, Gongshuilong, comes from the Gong River near where it was found, and 'long' means dragon in Chinese.1

The species name 'fanwei' refers to the sail-like tail, because 'fan' means sail in Chinese.1

發現: In March 2021, construction workers found a bonebed in Ganzhou, China. Scientists from the Jiangxi Geological Survey and Exploration Institute dug out the fossils in two blocks, and in 2026 Han Yao and colleagues named the new species Gongshuilong fanwei.1 2
仍有爭議: Scientists are still debating exactly how Gongshuilong is related to other brachylophosaurins, because the family tree shows a polytomy, meaning the relationships are not fully resolved.1
