Lufengosaurus

Lufengosaurus is a genus of early sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, around 190 million years ago, in what is now China. It was a large, herbivorous dinosaur characterized by a long neck and tail, allowing it to reach high vegetation. Lufengosaurus is notable for its relatively early appearance in the evolution of sauropods, which later became dominant giants among dinosaurs. Fossils of Lufengosaurus have provided valuable insights into the development and diversity of this group, showcasing the adaptations that allowed them to thrive in their prehistoric ecosystems.
