<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="yunnanosaurus-robustus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Yunnanosaurus robustus is a more robust species of Yunnanosaurus from the Lufeng Formation, larger and more heavily built than the type species. This larger form may represent sexual dimorphism or a distinct ecological niche among Early Jurassic Chinese prosauropods.
Time Period
Yunnanosaurus robustus lived during the Jurassic Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 201,4 to 174,7 million years ago.
After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, dinosaurs rapidly diversified and became the dominant land vertebrates. Early sauropods and theropods began to evolve larger body sizes.
