Jiangxititan a titanosaurian sauropod from the Late Cretaceous of China. Typical for a sauropod, it had a long neck and stood on four pillar-like legs to support its massive body. Jiangxititan is a member of the Lognkosauria, which include some of the largest dinosaurs known, and is one of the few from mainland Asia. The discovery of Jiangxititan demonstrates the presence of both early-diverging and late-diverging titanosauriform sauropods in that area during the Late Cretaceous.

Gandititan is a basal titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of what is now China. It was a long-necked herbivore, typical of sauropods, with a relatively short tail, a characteristic of titanosaurs compared to other sauropods. Titanosauria have a wide range of body sizes, and Gandititan falls around the middle, slightly on the smaller side. Discovered with a fairly well articluated spine from neck to tail, Gandititan is estimated at about 14 m in total body length.

Remarkable Eoceras shaanxiense Fossils Rewrite Cephalopod Evolution
China Cambrian Stage 3 fossil evolution formation
Researchers have identified tiny fossils from the Shuijingtuo Formation (Cambrian Stage 3) of South China that could transform our understanding of cephalopod evolution. The newly described species, Eoceras shaanxiense, provides the oldest known evidence of a primordial siphuncle, a crucial anatomical feature that enabled cephalopods to regulate buoyancy and eventually become some of the oceans'

Paleontologists have identified the earliest-known cephalopod equipped with a siphuncle -- a tubular extension of the mantle found in shelled cephalopods -- pushing back the fossil record of this key evolutionary feature to the Early Cambrian, roughly 520 million years ago.
