Xingxiulong

Wang et al. 2017

Xingxiulong is a genus of bipedal massopodan sauropodomorph from the Early Jurassic of China. It contains two species; the type species is X. chengi, described by Wang et al. in 2017 from three specimens, two adults and an immature individual, that collectively constitute a mostly complete skeleton. Adults of this species measured 4–5 metres (13–16 ft) long and 1–1.5 metres (3.3–4.9 ft) tall. A second species, X. yueorum, was described by Chen et al. in 2025 based on a partial articulated postcranial skeleton of an adult individual larger than X. chengi.
