Skull of Eternauta patagonica (photograph and diagram in right view)

Jinchuanloong is a relatively basal sauropod that measured an estimated 10 m in length. Sauropod skulls typically don't preserve well in the fossil record, but Jinchuanloong is known mainly from the skull, and parts of the neck and tail. Like all sauropods, Jinchuanloong was a quadrupedal herbivore that used its long neck to reach the vegetation that it fed on.

Dinosaur sand sculptures at the Sand Sculpting Australia "Dinostory" exhibit held at Frankston, Victoria, Australia 2008/2009.The sculpture was the created with the combined efforts of an international team of sand sculpting artists: Karen Fralich (Canada) - children playing in foreground; Peter Bignell (Tasmania, Australia) - Triceratops skull and logo; Martijn Rijerse (Netherlands) - Tyrannosaurus rex scene; Jino van Bruissenen and Christina Mija (NSW, Australia) - background panel.
