Guangdong dinosaur species
The dinosaurs in Guangdong are Yellow River source dragon, duck-billed dragon, egg stealing dragon, empty bone dragon, Tyrannosaurus rex and dragon.

We can see different shapes of dinosaur eggs, such as round, oval, oval, rectangle and olive. The size of dinosaur eggs varies greatly, the smallest is similar to duck eggs, and the largest diameter is less than 10 cm. The big one is more than 50 cm in length. The biggest highlight of Guangdong Heyuan Dinosaur Museum is that besides a large number of dinosaur eggs, it also has 7 skeleton fossils and 8 groups of 100-odd footprint fossils. This "Trinity" miracle is unique in the world.

There are many kinds of dinosaur fossils unearthed in Heyuan, including the tooth fossils of Tyrannosaurus rex, the ribs, cervical vertebrae and phalanges of sauropods, and the egg-stealing dragon named Huanghe Yuanlong from June 5438 to February 2002.

Huang Helong was unearthed in 1999. Through years of restoration and research, Dr. Lu from the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences officially named nine dinosaur fossils unearthed in Heyuan as "Huang Helong" in June 2002 in the fourth issue of the famous American magazine Vertebrate Paleontology (JVP).

Yellow river source dragon is a new species, which not only retains some characteristics of small theropod dinosaurs, but also has some basic characteristics of birds. The yellow river source dragon fossils unearthed in Heyuan provide specimens for the bird status of the egg-stealing dragon. In the future, all the newly discovered and studied dinosaurs in the world will be named "Yellow River Source Dragon", which indicates that the research results of Heyuan dinosaurs have gone to the world.
