Dianchungosaurus

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Dianchungosaurus is an extinct genus of mesoeucrocodylian crocodylomorph from the Early Jurassic of China.

It was previously considered a dinosaur, but it was recently reclassified as a mesoeucrocodylian by Paul Barrett and Xing Xu (2005).

It is probably the same animal as the informally named Tianchungosaurus.

The type species is D. lufengensis. Both remains come from the Lower Lufeng Formation, in the Yunnan Province in China.

The age of the material is thus Sinemurian (Early Jurassic).
