ABSTRACT

We describe the first partial articulated skeleton from the Ganzhou area, Jianxi Province, China. This basin has not been forthcoming in yielding hadrosaurid remains. The new specimen consists of an articulated rib cage belonging to a relatively large (no less than 9 m in length) hadrosaurid. It was collected from Maastrichtian strata of the Hekou Formation. This is the first partial skeleton of a large hadrosaurid dinosaur recovered from South southern China and confirms the presence of relatively large members of the clade previously suggested by ichnological evidence.
