Yunganglong

Yungang dragon

• Yungang · Chinese (place name) · Yungang, near Datong, Shanxi, China
• long · Chinese · dragon

The name combines "Yungang", a reference to the Yungang area near Datong in Shanxi Province, China (famous for its Yungang Grottoes), with the Chinese word "long", meaning dragon. It therefore means roughly "Yungang dragon" and names the dinosaur after the region where it was found.

I am confident that this is a published Chinese dinosaur genus (type species Yunganglong datongensis). I am not certain of its exact age, author, year or group, so I have left those fields blank instead of guessing. Please check the original description.
