A new dinosaur which had an extraordinarily long neck has been discovered in China and named the 'Dragon of Qijiang.' Qijianglong is about 15 metres in length and lived about 160 million years ago in the Late Jurassic.
The fossil site was found by construction workers in 2006, and the digging eventually hit a series of large neck vertebrae stretched out in the ground. The new species belongs to a group of dinosaurs called mamenchisaurids, known for their extremely long necks sometimes measuring up to half the length of their bodies.
