Qianlong (meaning "Guizhou Province dragon") is an extinct genus of basal sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Ziliujing Formation of China. The genus contains a single species, Q. shouhu, known from partial skeletons of three mature individuals, associated with several eggs, some of which contain embryos. These may represent the oldest leathery eggs currently known.^[1]
