This basin has not been forthcoming in yielding hadrosaurid remains. The new specimen consists of an articulated rib cage belonging to a relatively large (no less than 9 m in length) hadrosaurid. It was collected from Maastrichtian strata of the Hekou Formation. This is the first partial skeleton of a large hadrosaurid dinosaur recovered from South southern China and confirms the presence of relatively large members of the clade previously suggested by ichnological evidence.
