Xinjiangtitan

Reminder of one of the "worst" sauropods to have existed. Xinjiangtitan a sauropod of the Mamenchisauridae family that lived during the Middle Jurassic of what is now Xinjiang, northwestern China. It is pretty darn complete for a large sauropod (which is a miracle given how rare they are to preserve )so is good but damn does it look stupid with its stupidly long neck and proportions.

Top 10 Dinosaur Names That Are HARD And Even IMPOSSILBLE(!!!) To Pronounce!

10. Adratiklit

This Middle Jurassic dinosaur was a member of the Stegosaurus family and it was found in Marocco. Weird name btw...

9. Teratophoneus

This underrated predatory Late Cretaceous dinosaur was a member of the Tyrannosaurus family. There are 2 skeletons found in Utah But its name, yeah. I can’t almost pronounce, to be honest. 

8.  Ekrixinatosaurus

This beast was a member of the Abelisaurus family, also family of the Carnotaurus, the big horned meat-eating dinosaur you also saw in Fallen Kingdom. Its fossils were found in Patagonia, somewhere in South America. Its not very famous, and the name, seriously. It's already hard to write, so never mind pronouncing!

7.  Xinjiangtitan 

This was from a family of the more peaceful herbivorous dinosaurs: the sauropods (huge long-necked leaf-eating dinosaurs). It lived in the Late Jurassic in, the name already says it, Xinjiang, somewhere in China. Because of its hard-to-pronounce name it deserves a place on my list.

6. Archaeopteryx

Yes, one of the more famous guys on the list. This was actually not a dinosaur and more like an early bird, but come on, this one needs to be ranked on the list. It lived in Germany, where they found the famous fossil too. It also had the actual length of an average bird. Its name is harder than the other names to pronounce, that’s why it’s ranked some higher on my list.

5.  Vallibonavenatrix

This dude was a Spinosaurus family member, although it didn’t have a back sail, like the Spino did. It lived in the Early Cretaceous in Spain. He ate fish mostly, but if he was hungry for meat, he just ate a slow herbivore like the Iguanodon. His name is really hard to pronounce, but it still doesn’t get the first place. Fun fact: his fossil was found very recently (in 2019), so it’s a new species.

4.  Luanchuanraptor

If you think you know every single raptor, here’s a new species. This raptor lived in China, to be specific, in Luanchuan, of course. That why they gave it this name. Maybe you guys think: oh wow @donthelegofan, this is not hard to pronounce, well, if it isn’t, try it once! I tried too. This deserves number 4 guys, come on.

3.  Huehuecanauhtlus

Okay, so now we came in the Top 3 of this list with number 3: the  Huehuecanauhtlus. This dinosaur was a hadrosaurus, just like the Edmontosaurus and the Parasaurolophus. He lived, just like all the other hadrosauruses in the Late Cretaceous, and was a herbivore, of course. This name is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard, I swear. But nope, still not the hardest out of the bunch. Lets go, to place two!

2.  Bistahieversor 

Okay, this guy was also a Tyrannosaurus relative, in the Late Cretaceous too. The name, oh my gosh, that’s way too much for me. 

1.  Archaeornithomimus

Yes, we did it, we came to it: number one. This name. OH. MY. FRICKING. GOSH. This is a real mouthful!! Man, I guess there are just a few people who can REALLY pronounce this. My gosh. This dinosaur lived in the Late Cretaceous and was also a raptor. But seriously, the name. Gosh, I think we have an absolute winner here. 

Thanks for reading this blog and don’t forget to follow me!

IT’S THE SECOND PRELIMINARY SURVEY: SAUROPODOMORPHA!

HERE. ARE. THE. CATEGORIES. REMEMBER, SOME THINGS ARE INELIGIBLE BECAUSE THEY WERE IN LAST YEARS. 

Non-Plateosaur Prosauropods: Featuring such gems as Buriolestes, a carnivorous Prosauropod that throws early Saurischian phylogeny into turmoil; Saturnalia, named for the pagan festival; Alwalkeria, an underrated early Saurischian; and Thecodontosaurus, one of the more famous early Sauropodomorphs 

Non-Anchisaur Plateosaurs: Featuring Plateosaurus, arguably the most famous prosauropod; Riojasaurus, the prosauropod that convergently evolved sauropod-like traits; Glacialisaurus, the prosauropod from the Antarctic; and Seitaad, who’s a dapper fellow

Non-Gravisaur Anchisaurs: Featuring Aardonyx, which sheds important light into how prosauropods evolved into sauropods; Lessemsaurus, an almost-sauropod; Antetonitrus, one of the earliest sauropods; and “Thotobolosaurus”, the trash-heap reptile

Miscellaneous Gravisaurs: Featuring Vulcanodon, the animal that for a long time didn’t have a known head; Spinophorosaurus, the sauropod with spikes on its tail; Cetiosaurus, the first described sauropod; and Jobaria, one of the most complete sauropods known

Mamenchisaurids: Featuring Omeisaurus, the dinosaur with the second-longest neck; Xinjiangtitan, which evolved similar characteristics to Diplodocids; Datousaurus, which may have been one of the earliest members of this group; and Tienshanosaurus, which may have an egg associated with it

Turiasaurs: Featuring Turiasaurus, one of the larger sauropod known from Europe; Atlasaurus, which may have been a Brachiosaurid and highlights the convergent evolution between the groups; Zby, which is recently described and known from Portugal; and Cardiodon, which is named from the heart shapes of its teeth

Rebbachisaurids: Featuring Rebbachisaurus, the sauropod with a sail; Tataouinea, found near where Tatooine was filmed for Star Wars; Cathartesaura, which basically has a genus name which is the combination of the binomial name for the Turkey Vulture; and Nopcsaspondylus, which took more than a century to properly describe

Dicraeosaurids: Featuring Brachytrachelopan, the sauropod that thinks it’s a hadrosaur; Amargatitanis, which was thought to be a titanosaur but now has been found to be a member of this group; Dicraeosaurus, which lent its name to the whole group and also had a short neck; and Dyslocosaurus, which was an early derived member and thus had the long neck more characteristic of Diplodocoids

Diplodocids: Featuring Barosaurus, which was much longer than previously believed and had amazing flexibility in its neck for moving side to side; Apatosaurus, one of the most famous sauropods; Supersaurus, one of the bigger Diplodocoids (the group including Rebbachisaurids, Dicraeosaurids, and Diplodocids);  and Tornieria, which has a complicated taxonomic history and is from a place OTHER than the Morrison Formation

Non-Titanosauriform Macronarians: Featuring Abrosaurus, one of the earlier Macronarians; Bellusaurus, which was found in a mass bonebed; Lourinahsaurus, which had longer forelimbs than Camarasaurus; and Cathetosaurus, which had weird spurs on its neural spines

Non-Somphospondyl Titanosauriformes: Featuring Ornithopsis, which was thought to be an intermediary between birds and reptiles and they were not wrong; Brachiosaurus, which is very famous but very poorly known; Europasaurus, which is like Giraffatitan but SMOL; and Cedarosaurus, which may or may not have had gastroliths 

Non-Titanosaur Somphospondylians: Featuring Sauroposeidon, the tallest known dinosaur; Angolatitan, the only non-avian dinosaur known from Angola; Erketu, the Macronarian that thought it was a Diplodocoid; and Tambatitanis, a sauropod with curving neural spines rather than straight, allowing for a different range of motion

Non-Lithostrotian Titanosaurs: Featuring Magyarosaurus, the SMOLEST titanosaur; Puertasaurus, one of the biggest dinosaurs known (but still smaller than Argentinosaurus); Savannasaurus, which is newly described and was unusually wide-bodied for a titanosaur; and Jiangshanosaurus, not to be confused with Jingshanosaurus, who is still disappointed they were eliminated last year

Lithostrotians: Featuring Dreadnoughtus, one of the more completely known titanosaurs with very long forelimbs; Rapetosaurus, yet another titanosaur that is actually decently known, with a very well preserved juvenile skeleton; Opisthocelicaudia, who gave birth to a meme; and Sarmientosaurus, which held its neck lower than other titanosaurs to eat more low-lying plants

REMEMBER TO VOTE, REBLOG, AND SHARE; VOTING WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT, CENTRAL TIME ON JANUARY 28TH (so 10pm January 27th in Pacific, and 1am January 28th in Eastern)

Xinjiangtitan shanshanensis

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiangtitan

Name: Xinjiangtitan shanshanensis

Name Meaning: Xinjiang Giant

First Described: 2013

Described By: Wu et al. 

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Sauropodomorpha,Plateosauria, Massopoda, Sauropodiformes, Anchisauria, Sauropoda,Gravisauria, Eusauropoda, Mamenchisauridae

Xinjiangtitan was another Mamenchisaurid, from the Qigu Formation in Pigan County, Xinjiang, northwestern China. It lived in the Middle Jurassic period, anywhere between 174 and 163 million years ago. It was about 30 to 32 meters long, making it one of the longest sauropods known, and is known from a partial skeleton. It was probably a Mamenchisaurid, though it shared some characteristics with Diplodocids.
