Fossils found years ago in southwest China's Yunnan Province have been identified to be that of a new dinosaur species from the Early Jurassic period, according to a research published in PeerJ on December 12.
The Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) made the announcement about the discovery.
Named Lishulong wangi, the fossil represents one of the largest known early sauropods from the region. The specimen, which includes an intact skull and nine cervical vertebrae, was unearthed in 2007 in the Chuanjie Basin of Lufeng City.
