<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="yunnanosaurus-youngi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Yunnanosaurus youngi is a third species of Yunnanosaurus, named for paleontologist C.C. Young. Multiple Yunnanosaurus species from the Lufeng Formation document significant variation in this early sauropodomorph across the Early Jurassic of Yunnan.
Time Period
Yunnanosaurus youngi 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.
