Qingxiusaurus (meaning "Qingxiu lizard"; "Qingxiu" is short for Pinyin "shangqingshuixiu", which means "a picturesque scenery of mountains and water in Guangxi"[1]) is a genus of titanosaur sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Dashi Site of Guangxi, China. The type species, described by Mo et al. in 2008, is Q. youjiangensis.[1] Like other sauropods, Qingxiusaurus would have been a large quadrupedal herbivore.[2] It is known from only limited remains collected in 1991: Two humeri, two sternal plates, and the neural spine of a single vertebra.
