Sauropodomorph dinosaurs from China
China possesses a remarkable diversity of sauropodomorph taxa, many of which are pivotal in debates over the phylogeny of the group.
This project aims to redescribe many of these important animals, including Lower and Late Jurassic forms such as Lufengosaurus, Yunnanosaurus and Mamenchisaurus, and to assess their impact on sauropodomorph diversity and systematics.
