A new Middle Jurassic diplodocoid suggests an earlier dispersal and diversification of sauropod dinosaurs
Diplodocoid dinosaurs are generally thought to have been excluded from East Asia due to the fragmentation of Pangaea. Here, Xu et al. describe the new diplodocoid Lingwulong shenqi from the Jurassic of East Asia, suggesting an earlier diversification and dispersal of diplodocoids and other sauropods...
