Chinshakiangosaurus (meaning "Chinshakian lizard") was a genus of dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period. It lived in what is now present-day China. It is classified as a sauropod, but is not well known. The type species, Chinshakiangosaurus chuhghoensis, was first named by Ye, but described by Dong Zhiming in 1992. It is based on a partial dentary that suggests this animal had cheeks. Also included in the remains are vertebrae, scapulae, limb bones, and a partial pelvis.[1]
