A complete right femur was unearthed from Late Jurassic Shishugou
Formation, Qitai area of Junggar Basin, Xinjiang, which not only possesses
typical titanosauriformes characteristics, but also some unique
characteristics. The angle between the virtually extensional line of the
most lateral bulge edge and the dorsally extensional line of the femoral
head is about 127°; the fourth trochanter is well developed and
mound-shaped in lateral view; the fourth trochanter is located more
proximally above the midpoint of the femur shaft and close to the inner
side; the intercondyloid fossa is deep and U-shaped; the combined joint
surfaces of the distal condyles is orthogonal to the long axis of the
femoral shaft. Based on the unique anatomical characters, the comparisons
with other titanosauriform femora discovered in China, and its geological
and geographical distributions, the authors consider it as a new gigantic
titanosauriform dinosaur and name as a new taxon Fushanosaurus qitaiensis
gen. et sp. nov.
