Jinchuanloong

Jinchuan dragon

• Jinchuan · Chinese (place name) · a place name, probably the locality where the fossils were found
• loong · Chinese (pinyin 'long') · dragon

The name appears to combine a Chinese place name, Jinchuan, with 'loong', the pinyin-derived word for 'dragon' that is commonly used in the names of Chinese dinosaurs. I could not verify which Jinchuan the name refers to, so the place connection is an inference from the name's form.

I recall this as a recently published Chinese dinosaur genus (type species J. niedu), but I am not certain of the author, year, age or locality, so I have left those fields blank rather than guess. Please check the original publication.
