Since I cannot read Mandarin, I can't see if this is the sauropod that was found at the same locality as the YutyrannusÂspecimens.On Tue, Sep 25, 2018 at 12:51 AM, Ben Creisler <bcreisler@gmail.com> wrote:Ben CreislerAnother Chinese dinosaur I missed, officially out in June. The name appeared with informal status in a number of news stories in German and Chinese a few months back. Now it's validly published.

Its diagnostic characters include:ventral margin of maxilla is convex, upper tooth row is short and anteriorly positioned; anterior extension of jugal nearly reaches the level of the anterior margin of the antorbital fenestra; quadrate wing of the pterygoid constricted basally; upper teeth are imbricated, narrow spatulate crown is D-shaped in cross section, with labial grooves and denticles absent; well reduced and un-imbricated nine lower teeth; lower tooth crown is asymmetric, elliptical-like in cross section, lingual grooves and ridge present, basal crown bulbous lingually; proximal expansion of the humerus is about 54.9% the length of the humerus, ilium with a pointed preacetabular process. Preliminary result of the phylogenetic analysis shows that Liaoningotitan falls into the clade of titanosauriformes, and is more derived than Euhelopus and Brachiosaurus.--Thomas R. Holtz, Jr.
