Zuoyunlong huangi

Reptilia

Taxonomy
Zuoyunlong huangi was named by Wang et al. (2017). Its type specimen is SXMG V 00004, a set of limb elements (including the nearly complete right ilium missing most of the preacetabular process, and the distal end of the right ischium), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is 2011 Locality 7, Zuoyun (SXMG), which is in a Cenomanian/Santonian terrestrial horizon in the Zhumapu Formation of China.

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R.-F. Wang et al. 2017Non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroid with the following unique combination of characters (autapomorphy marked by an asterisk): (1) very short postacetabular process about 50% as long as the iliac central plate*; (2) relatively long, stick-shaped pubic peduncle of the ilium (shared with Probactrosaurus and more basal iguanodontians); (3) ischial peduncle of the ilium formed by a single large knob (shared with Probactrosaurus and more basal iguanodontians); (4) modest lateral swelling along the dorsal edge of the ilium with a more prominent caudal half, whose length is about 90% the length of the central plate (shared with Probactrosaurus); (5) apex of the lateral swelling located dorsal and slightly caudal to the caudal end of the ischial peduncle (present in Eolambia and more derived non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroids); (6) sacral ridge situated at about 75% the dorsoventral height of the iliac central plate (shared with Probactrosaurus and many more advanced hadrosauroids); and (7) elongate, subtriangular distal boot of the ischium that is ventrally directed, with a pointed extremity (present in Eolambia).
