Discovery of new sauropod in China raises questions about Pangaea split
The discovery of a new sauropod in northern China is shaking up ideas about when East Asia broke away from supercontinent Pangaea, according to findings published in Nature Communications. Lingwulong shenqi dates to around 174 million years ago, about 15 million years earlier than other neosauropods, suggesting Pangaea had yet to split up.
