Xianglong (Chinese: "flying dragon") is a genus of gliding Cretaceous lizard containing one described species, Xianglong zhaoi.It is known from LPM 000666, a single complete skeleton with skin impressions discovered in the Zhuanchengzi, near Yizhou, Yixian, in the Liaoning Province of China. The specimen comes fromRead more
the Barremian-aged (Lower Cretaceous) Yixian Formation, near Yizhou. Xianglong's most notable feature is its oversized ribs, eight on each side, which were attached to a membrane (patagium) that allowed the lizard to glide in a way similar to living Draco lizards.
While Xianglong was originally considered to be an acrodontan lizard, with a cladistic analysis in the study that described it suggesting that it was grouped with iguanians such as agamines, chamaeleonids, and leiolepidines, it was later shown that this was due to misinterpretation of the crushed skull, and its affinities with other lizards remains uncertain.
