"Yimenosaurus" is a genus of prosauropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic. Fossils from several individuals were recovered from Yimen, China, and the type species "Y. youngi" was named by Bai, Yang & Wang in 1990. Reconstructions are based on mostly complete skeletons, missing only parts of the limbs.Bai, Z., J. Yang, and G. Wang. (1990).
