The Giving of December. Tienshanosaurus

  Tienshanosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in China during the late Jurassic.‭ ‬At twelve meters long Tienshanosaurus seems to have been fairly small for a sauropod dinosaur.‭ ‬In the past there has been some confusion concerning the validity of the genus,‭ ‬with the genus Euhelopus being considered to be a synonym by Ralph Molar in‭ ‬1991,‭ ‬while Valérie Martin-Rolland named Tienshanosaurus as a species of Euhelopus in‭ ‬1999.‭ ‬Despite this,‭ ‬at the time of writing both Euhelopus and Tienshanosaurus are both generally considered to be distinct.
