Klamelisaurus

Wikipedia Abstract

Klamelisaurus is a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic of China. It was similar to Bellusaurus, of which it may actually be an adult specimen and thus a junior synonym. It was found in the Gobi desert of Asia. In 1982 at Kelamaili, north of Jiangjunmiao in the Junggar Basin of Xinjiang province, the remains were discovered of a sauropod. The type species Klamelisaurus gobiensis was named and described by Zhao Xijin in 1993. The generic name refers to Kelamaili, of which "Klameli" is a spelling variant. The specific name refers to the Gobi.
