Huabeisaurus
''Huabeisaurus'' (, meaning " North China lizard") was a genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous ( Cenomanian to Maastrichtian stages, around 99.7–70.6 million years ago). It was a sauropod which lived in what is present-day northern China. The type species, ''Huabeisaurus allocotus'', was first described by Pang Qiqing and Cheng Zhengwu in 2000. ''Huabeisaurus'' is known from numerous remains found in the 1990s, which include teeth, partial limbs and vertebrae. Due to its relative completeness, ''Huabeisaurus'' represents a significant taxon for understanding sauropod evolution in Asia. ''Huabeisaurus'' comes from Kangdailiang and Houyu, Zhaojiagou Town, Tianzhen County, Shanxi province, China. The holotype was found in the unnamed upper member of the Huiquanpu Formation, which is Late Cretaceous (?Cenomanian–?Campanian) in age based on ostracods, charophytes, and fission-track dating.

Huiquanpu Formation
The Huiquanpu Formation () is a geological formation in Shanxi and Hebei provinces, China, whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous period. It predominantly consists of purple-red mudstone, with subordinate grey-white sandy conglomerates. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.Weishampel, David B; et al. (2004). "Dinosaur distribution (Late Cretaceous, Asia)."

Jainosaurus
''Jainosaurus'' is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur of India and wider Asia, which lived in the Maastrichtian (approximately 68 mya (unit), million years ago). No accurate estimate of the length, height, or weight has yet been made. The humerus of the type specimen is 134 centimetres long. Etymology The specific name (zoology), specific name of ''J. septentrionalis'' means "northern" in Latin, a reference to the fact that the species was discovered on the Northern hemisphere whereas ''Antarctosaurus'' means "saurian from the Southern hemisphere" because its type species ''Antarctosaurus wichmannianus'' was found in Argentina. The generic name honours the Indian paleontologist Sohan Lal Jain, who worked on the cranial nerve impressions in the skull; and in 1982 published a study about the results. Ironically, Jain himself considered the remains synonymous with ''Titanosaurus'' in the 1997 description of ''Isisaurus''. However, Wilson and Upchurch (2003) rejected th ...

Alamosaurus
''Alamosaurus'' (; meaning "Ojo Alamo lizard") is a genus of opisthocoelicaudiine titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs, containing a single known species, ''Alamosaurus sanjuanensis'', from the late Cretaceous Period of what is now southern North America. Isolated vertebrae and limb bones indicate that it reached sizes comparable to ''Argentinosaurus'' and ''Puertasaurus'', which would make it the largest dinosaur known from North America. Its fossils have been recovered from a variety of rock formations spanning the Maastrichtian age of the late Cretaceous period. Specimens of a juvenile ''Alamosaurus sanjuanensis'' have been recovered from only a few meters below the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in Texas, making it among the last surviving non-avian dinosaur species. Description ''Alamosaurus'' was a gigantic quadrupedal herbivore with a long neck and tail and relatively long limbs. Its body was at least partly covered in bony armor. In 2012 Thomas Holtz gave a total length o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rebbachisauridae
Rebbachisauridae is a family of sauropod dinosaurs known from fragmentary fossil remains from the Cretaceous of South America, Africa, North America, Europe and possibly Central Asia. Taxonomy In 1990 sauropod specialist Jack McIntosh included the first known rebbachisaurid genus, the giant North African sauropod '' Rebbachisaurus'', in the family Diplodocidae, subfamily Dicraeosaurinae, on the basis of skeletal details. With the discovery in subsequent years of a number of additional genera, it was realised that ''Rebbachisaurus'' and its relatives constituted a distinct group of dinosaurs. In 1997 the Argentine paleontologist José Bonaparte described the family Rebbachisauridae, and in 2011 Whitlock defined two new subfamilies within the group: Nigersaurinae and Limaysaurinae. The cladogram of the Rebbachisauridae according to Carballido ''et al.'' (2012) is shown below: Cladogram after Fanti ''et al.'', 2015. Evolutionary relationships and characteristics Although ...

Neuquensaurus
''Neuquensaurus'' (meaning "Neuquén lizard") is a genus of saltasaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 80 million years ago in Argentina and Uruguay in South America. Its fossils were recovered from outcrops of the Anacleto Formation around Cinco Saltos, near the Neuquén river from which its name is derived. History In 1893, Richard Lydekker named ''Titanosaurus australis'', based on a series of caudal vertebrae and limb elements. The remains had been found by Santiago Roth and F. Romero in the Neuquén Province of Argentina at the Neuquén River, and were by Lydekker assigned to a single individual. Six caudal vertebrae, with the inventory numbers MLP Ly 1-6-V-28-1, were the holotype of the species. They had probably been found in a layer of the Anacleto Formation. Some elements that had been referred to ''Titanosaurus australis'' were reassigned to '' Laplatasaurus araukanicus'' by Friedrich von Huene in 1929. The same year, von Huene named a ''Ti ...
