Lishulong (meaning "chestnut tree dragon") is a genus of sauropodiform dinosaur from the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian–Toarcian) Lufeng Formation of China. The type and only species is Lishulong wangi.
Discovery and naming
The holotype specimen, LFGT-ZLJ0011, includes a cranium, mandible, and nine cervical vertebrae. It was discovered in Jiudu Village in Konglongshan Town (formerly named Chuanjie Township), Lufeng County, Yunnan Province, China, in sediments belonging to the Shawan Member of the Lufeng Formation. This locality is close to where the fossils of the coelophysoid theropod Panguraptor were discovered.
The sauropodomorph remains were described as belonging to a new genus and species of dinosaur in 2024. The generic name, Lishulong, combines lishu, the Chinese word for "chestnut tree" and the name of the location where the fossils were found, with long, Chinese for "dragon". The specific name, wangi, honors Zheng-Ju Wang, for his contribution to vertebrate paleontology in Lufeng.
Classification
Zhang et al. (2024) included Lishulong in a phylogenetic analysis and found it to be a sauropodiform sister to Yunnanosaurus.
