Bathonian

In the geologic timescale the Bathonian is an age and stage of the Middle Jurassic.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Bathonian

Callovian

In the geologic timescale, the Callovian is an age and stage in the Middle Jurassic, lasting between 165.3 ± 1.1 Ma (million years ago) and 161.5 ± 1.0 Ma.

Carnosauria

Carnosauria is an extinct group of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

China

China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia.

Coracoid

A coracoid (from Greek κόραξ, koraks, raven) is a paired bone which is part of the shoulder assembly in all vertebrates except therian mammals (marsupials and placentals).

Dinosaur

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Dinosaur

Gasosaurus is a genus of tetanuran theropod that lived approximately 171.6 to 161.2 million years ago during the middle of the Jurassic Period. Kaijiangosaurus and Gasosaurus are middle Jurassic dinosaurs of Asia and Paleontology in Sichuan.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Genus

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Holotype

Jurassic

The Jurassic is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya.

Kaijiang County

Kaijiang County is a county in the east of Sichuan Province, China.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Kaijiang County

Megalosauridae

Megalosauridae is a monophyletic family of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs within the group Megalosauroidea.

Middle Jurassic

The Middle Jurassic is the second epoch of the Jurassic Period.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Middle Jurassic

Paratype

In zoology and botany, a paratype is a specimen of an organism that helps define what the scientific name of a species and other taxon actually represents, but it is not the holotype (and in botany is also neither an isotype nor a syntype).

See Kaijiangosaurus and Paratype

Shaximiao Formation

The Shaximiao Formation is a Middle to Late Jurassic aged geological formation in Sichuan, China, most notable for the wealth of dinosaurs fossils that have been excavated from its strata. Kaijiangosaurus and Shaximiao Formation are Paleontology in Sichuan.

Sichuan

Sichuan is a province in Southwestern China occupying the Sichuan Basin and Tibetan Plateau between the Jinsha River on the west, the Daba Mountains in the north and the Yungui Plateau to the south.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Sichuan

Specific name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen).

See Kaijiangosaurus and Specific name (zoology)

Tail

The tail is the section at the rear end of certain kinds of animals' bodies; in general, the term refers to a distinct, flexible appendage to the torso.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Tail

Tetanurae

Tetanurae (/ˌtɛtəˈnjuːriː/ or "stiff tails") is a clade that includes most theropod dinosaurs, including megalosauroids, allosauroids, tyrannosauroids, ornithomimosaurs, compsognathids and maniraptorans (including birds). Kaijiangosaurus and Tetanurae are tetanurans.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Tetanurae

Theropoda

Theropoda (from ancient Greek whose members are known as theropods, is a dinosaur clade that is characterized by hollow bones and three toes and claws on each limb. Theropods are generally classed as a group of saurischian dinosaurs. They were ancestrally carnivorous, although a number of theropod groups evolved to become herbivores and omnivores.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Theropoda

Type species

In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).

See Kaijiangosaurus and Type species

Ulna

The ulna or ulnar bone (ulnae or ulnas) is a long bone in the forearm stretching from the elbow to the wrist.

See Kaijiangosaurus and Ulna

Xuanhanosaurus

Xuanhanosaurus (meaning "Xuanhan lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of the Sichuan Basin, China, around 166 million years ago. Kaijiangosaurus and Xuanhanosaurus are fossil taxa described in 1984 and Paleontology in Sichuan.
