舞龙属(属名:Wulong, 由汉语音译而来)是中国早白垩世(阿普第阶)九佛堂组的一种驰龙科小盗龙类恐龙。它包括一个物种,渤海舞龙(Wulong bohaiensis)。化石残骸是一个亚成体。[1][2][3]
发现
恐龙的正模标本是一位农民在中国辽宁省化石丰富的九佛堂组中发现的。此后,这具化石骨架被收藏在辽宁大连自然历史博物馆中。这些骨骼化石是由Ashley W. Poust和她的前蒙大拿州立大学顾问David Varricchio以及大连古生物学家高春玲、吴建林和张凤娇共同研究的。
描述
渤海舞龙的长而纤细的尾巴是它身体长度的两倍。它的骨骼是中空的。它的四肢长有羽毛,尾巴末端有两根长长的羽毛。此外,它有一个狭窄的头部,上面有细长的颚,颚上长满了小而尖的牙齿。它与义县组的中国鸟龙关系密切。
