Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis

A large sauropod dinosaur from late Jurassic China. Notable for its extremely long neck even for a sauropod. Several species of Mamenchisaurus have been named. M.hochuanensis may have possessed a tail club with questionable combat effectiveness.

Two Limusaurus looking for ferns to eat and a Guanlong chasing a large, beetle-like insect both scamper past the massive, pillar-like legs of a Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum browsing on the leaves of a conifer 160 million years ago in what will one day be the Shishugou Formation of northwestern China.

A male Stegosaurus stenops leaves the edge of a water-hole to reunite with his thirsty mate and offspring after they’ve both endured a long trek across the sand dunes to reach it, 155 million years ago in what is now the Morrison Formation of Colorado.
