Dongyangosaurus is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous.[1] The only species is Dongyangosaurus sinensis, from which only a single fragmentary skeleton is known, coming from the Zhejiang province of eastern China. It was described and named by Lü Junchang and colleagues.[2] Like other sauropods, Dongyangosaurus would have been a large quadrupedal herbivore.[3]
