Summary

A new study published in Scientific Reports describes the identification of a new species of long-necked dinosaur found in the Phu Kradung Formation in Thailand. The team calls the dinosaur Uragasaurus kalasinensis and says it is the first formally named mamenchisaurid dinosaur from Thailand. Mamenchisaurids were long-necked sauropod dinosaurs that dominated parts of East Asia during the Middle to Late Jurassic period. Most previously named mamenchisaurid species have come from China, mostly from Sichuan and Xinjiang, but the group's diversity and range outside China have been unclear.
