摘      要：The Sichuan Basin,also known as the‘Red Basin’,is famous for its abundance of Mesozoic dinosaur fossils,especially in the Zigong area during the Jurassic era;the Middle Jurassic Shunosaurus and the Late Jurassic Mamenchisaurus faunal assemblages are the most *** Qinglongshan dinosaur fossil site is located in Fuxing,to the northwest of Rong County,Zigong *** new site is situated within the Middle Jurassic Xiashaximiao Formation,and geologically is roughly equivalent to the well-known Dashanpu dinosaur fossil *** than 600 dinosaur fossils were found concentrated in the excavation area,including teeth;cervical,dorsal and caudal vertebrae;and various parts of appendicular *** fossil site is also most significant as it provides new information on non-avian dinosaur life during the poorly understood Middle Jurassic.
