- Mamenchisaurus (/mɑːˈmʌntʃiˈsɔrəs/ mah-MUN-chi-SAWR-əs,[1] or spelling pronunciation /məˌmɛntʃiˈsɔrəs/) is a sauropod dinosaur genus including several species, known for their remarkably long necks[2] which made up half the total body length.[3] It is known from numerous species which ranged in time from 160 to 145 million years ago, from the Oxfordian to Tithonian ages of the late Jurassic Period of China. It may include the species Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum.

Las vértebras cervicales estaban tan reforzadas con puntales óseos que el Mamenchisaurus se veía obligado a llevar el cuello horizontal, con lo que la cabeza quedaba en línea con la espalda, pero también podía alzar el cuello para alcanzar las hojas de las copas de los árboles. Sigue siendo un misterio como le llegaba la sangre al cerebro a través de un cuello tan largo, pero se cree que quizás tuviera pequeños corazones entre las vértebras.

- Mamenchisaurus was first discovered in 1952 on the construction site of the Yitang Highway in Sichuan, China. The partial skeleton fossil was then studied, and named Mamenchisaurus constructus in 1954, by the renowned Chinese paleontologist Professor C. C. Young. The type specimen had an incomplete neck with 14 vertebra preserved and none of these were complete. M. constructus has been estimated around 13.1 m (43 ft) and 14.9 m (49 ft) in length.

Se cree que estos animales vivían en manadas que les daban mayor seguridad, pues prácticamente no tenía defensas.

- Mamenchisaurus was first discovered in 1952 on the construction site of the Yitang Highway in Sichuan, China. The partial skeleton fossil was then studied, and named Mamenchisaurus constructus in 1954, by the renowned Chinese paleontologist Professor C. C. Young. The type specimen had an incomplete neck with 14 vertebra preserved and none of these were complete. M. constructus has been estimated around 13.1 m (43 ft) and 14.9 m (49 ft) in length. In 1972, a second species was described, named Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis, with a neck that reached up to 9.3 m (31 ft) in length.[6] This species had a complete neck preserved which contained 19 vertebrae. This was the longest neck known until the description of Supersaurus, based on a single neck vertebra, BYU 9024, with an estimated neck length of about 14 meters (46 feet). Another long-necked sauropod exceeding M.hochuanensis was Sauroposeidon which was discovered in 1994. Based on the Sauroposeidon holotype, which only preserved 4 neck vertebra, its neck was estimated to be between 11.25 and 12 meters (36.9–39.4 feet) long. In 1993, M. sinocanadorum was described, which consisted of skull material and the first four cervical vertebrae. This species possessed the longest cervical rib of any described sauropod dinosaur, measuring 4.1 m (13.5 ft). This is longer than the longest Sauroposeidon cervical rib, which measures 3.42 m (11.2 ft). Additional remains attributed to this species, but not yet formally described, belong to one of the largest dinosaurs known—the restored skeleton measuring 35 metres (115 ft) in length with a neck measuring 17.9 metres (59 ft) long. In 2001, another M. hochuanensis specimen was described. It had skull, pectoral girdle and forelimb material preserved, all of which were missing from the holotype. It was also found with four fused tail vertebra, which have expanded neural arches and taller neural spines, that belong at the tip of the tail. It’s thought that these could be a weapon, such as a tail club, or a sensory organ. Other Chinese sauropods, Shunosaurus and Omeisaurus, are also known to have had ’tail clubs’ but they differ in shape to that of M. hochuanensis.
