'"Dachongosaurus"' is the informal name given to an
undescribed genus of
dinosaur from the
Early Jurassic (
Sinemurian-
Pliensbachian[1]) of
China. A
sauropod (possibly a
cetiosaur[2]), the
type species is "Dachongosaurus yunnanensis", coined by Zhao in
1985. An alternate spelling is "Dachungosaurus". As with other informal names coined by Zhao in 1985 and
1983, nothing has since been published, and the remains may have been redescribed under another name.
