Lanzhousaurus

Lanzhousaurus is an iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaur, estimated at about 10 m in length and 6 t in weight. The teeth preserved in the meter-long lower jaw have been described as “astonishingly huge",‭ ‬and at 14 centimeters in length each, are among the largest of any herbivorous creature ever. The tooth enamel of Lanzhousaurus grew very rapidly.

Someone requested an obscure ornithopod, so here we go, lanzhousaurus. Mostly this was just me screwing around in Clip Studio lol. Not thrilled with the lineart but meh.

Name: Lanzhousaurus magnidens

Name Meaning: Lanzhou Reptile

First Described: 2005

Described By: You, Ji & Li

Classification: Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Genasauria, Neornithischia, Cerapoda, Ornithopoda, Iguanodontia, Dryomorpha, Ankylopollexia, Styracosterna

Lanzhousaurus is a Styracosternan known from Gansu Province, China, dating back toa bout 130 million years ago, in the Barremian age of the Early Cretaceous. It is known from a partial skeleton and it had some of the largest teeth ever known for a herbivorous animal. It was probably very large in general, probably longer than 10 meters, given that its jaw was longer than 1 meter.

The Lanzhou lizard, Lanzhousaurus (2005)

Phylum : Chordata Class : Reptilia Order : Ornithischia Suborder : Ornithopoda Genus : Lanzhousaurus Species : L. magnidens

Early Cretaceous (120 - 110 Ma)

9 m long and 5 000 kg (size)

When its partial remains were discovered in China in 2005, Lanzhousaurus caused a stir for two reasons. First, this dinosaur measured an enormous 30 feet in length, making it one of the biggest ornithopods before the rise of the hadrosaurs in the late Cretaceous period. And second, at least some of this dinosaur's teeth were equally enormous: with choppers up to 14 centimeters long (in a meter-long lower jaw), Lanzhousaurus may be the longest-toothed herbivorous dinosaur that ever lived.

Lanzhousaurus appears to be closely related to Lurdusaurus, another giant ornithopod from central Africa--a strong hint that dinosaurs migrated from Africa to Eurasia (and vice-versa) during the early Cretaceous period.
