Species

Lanzhousaurus is the name given to a new (2005) genus of dinosaur. Lanzhousaurus lived in what is now China during the Early Cretaceous. A partial skeleton has been recovered. The type species, described by You, Ji, and Li, is Lanzhousaurus magnidens. It is perhaps most notable for its "astonishingly huge teeth", which indicate it is an iguanodont.
