Lishulong (Traditional Chinese: 栗樹龍 Simplified Chinese : 栗树龙 Pinyin : Lìshùlóng meaning "chestnut tree dragon") is a genus of sauropodiform dinosaur from the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian–Toarcian) Lufeng Formation of China.
The holotype specimen, LFGT-ZLJ0011, was discovered in 2007 in Jiudu Village in Konglongshan Town (formerly named Chuanjie Township), Lufeng County, Yunnan Province, China, in sediments belonging to the Shawan Member of the Lufeng Formation.
The specific name, wangi, honors Wang Zheng-Ju, the discoverer of Lufengpithecus, for his contribution to vertebrate paleontology in Lufeng.
[2] At 40 centimetres (16 in) long, the skull of Lishulong is larger than any other sauropodomorph from the Lufeng Formation.
[4] Zhang et al. (2024) included Lishulong in a phylogenetic analysis and found it to be a member of the Sauropodiformes, as the sister taxon to Yunnanosaurus.
