Paleontological examination reveals five distinct dinosaur lineages in Upper Cretaceous strata, highlighting expanded paleogeographic ranges in East Asia.
Twelve new dinosaur teeth have recently been recovered from three localities in the Upper Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation of the Songliao Basin. Although fragmentary, the material offers enough evidence to identify the following taxa: tyrannosaurids, dromaeosaurines, velociraptorines, hadrosauroids, and titanosaurs. In addition to the previously known dinosaurs from the basin, several new ones have been identified, extending the paleogeographic range of related taxa. The discovery of these new fossil remains provides valuable insights into dinosaur diversity and sheds light on the terrestrial ecosystem during the Late Cretaceous in the Songliao Basin.
