Restoration of Zuoyunlong huangi from the Late Cretaceous of China

Kayrasaurus is a therizinosaurian dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period in what is now China. At an estimated 3.6 m in total body length, it is the largest therizinosaur known from the Jehol Biota. Like other therizinosaurs, Kayrasaurus was a bipedal herbivore with large curved claws on each hand.

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.

Aurornis xui, a basal member of Avialae from northern China, which lived 160 mya

Reconstructed skull of the holotype and only specimen of Leshansaurus qianweiensis based on the possibly related megalosaurid Dubreuillosaurus valesdunensis. Scale bar is 10cm, image is 10px/cm. Cranial anatomy from figures in Fei et al. (2009) "A new carnosaur from the Late Jurassic of Qianwei, Sichuan, China". White bones are figured, light grey bones are unfigured and minimally described.

Huashanosaurus is a basal sauropod dinosaur that lived from the Early to Middle Jurassic periods of what is now China. It was a long-necked herbivore which still exhibited many basal traits of the earlier sauropodomorphs, while transitioning to obligate quardupedality. Huashanosaurus grew to approximately 12 m in length, and weighed around 10 t.

Fujianvenator is an anchiornithid avialan from the Late Jurassic of China, whose discovery gave important insight to the evolution of birds. It had proportionately long legs, with the tibia twice the length of the femur. This suggests it may have been a strong runner, and possibly had a terrestrial or wading lifestyle. Fujianvenator was a small dinosaur, weighing about 640 g. As an avialan, it was almost certainly covered in feathers, though it does not seem likely to have been capable of flight.
