Qianlong (meaning "Guizhou Province dragon") is an extinct genus of basal sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Ziliujing Formation of China.
[1] The Qianlong fossil material was discovered in sediments of the Ziliujing Formation (Zhenzhuchong Member), dated to the Sinemurian age of the Early Jurassic period near Zhuanpo in Pingba District of Anshun City, Guizhou Province, China.
[1] Due to the closed neurocentral sutures in the vertebrae of the holotype specimen, Han et al. (2023) suggest that the individual was likely an adult when it died.
[1] In Qianlong juveniles, the skull, mandible, forelimbs, and shoulder girdles are proportionally larger than the adults, similar to the related sauropodomorphs Massospondylus and Mussaurus.
