The fossil, found in Lufeng, south west China, is about 70 per cent intact and belongs to a dinosaur believed to have been nearly eight metres in length. It was discovered on a dig in late May in soil dating around 180 million years, to the Jurassic period. This species made international headlines in 2017, when collagen protein was discovered preserved in the rib of a Lufengosaurus fossil. Earlier in 2021, the skeleton belonging to a young dinosaur from the same period was discovered in Lufeng.
