Mamenchisaurus (?) info



Dear DML members,
I'm interested to know the actual status of the species Zigongosaurus fuxiensis and Omeisaurus fuxiensis. I know that (maybe) they are now referred to Mamenchisaurus, but is not clear to me if they are based on the same type species or not. I've found that the describers are different for the two taxon, Z. fuxiensis Hou, Zhao et Zhu, 1976 and O. fuxiensis Dong, Zhou et Zhang, 1983. And, if they are not the same beast, the occurence is the same? And the etimology for the word "fuxiensis"?


Finally I need any info about Omeisaurus zigongensis Tanimoto, 1988.

Thanks in advance
Marco
