Scientists have identified a new dinosaur species that lived 190 million years ago in what is now China, bridging a major gap in our evolutionary understanding of the long-necked giant.
Xiangyunloong fengming was 9-10m long, making it one of the largest-known plant-eating dinosaurs found in China. It lived during the Early Jurassic epoch, between 201 and 174 million years ago, which was a pivotal evolutionary period witnessing the rise and diversification of long-necked, plant-eating dinosaurs.
