Abstract

Abstract

Kugou, Longgujian, Zangjiazhuang and Xijiantun are mainly fossil sites, and hadrosaurs, centrosaurinae, tyrannosaurs, ankylosauria, sauropods, oviraptorosauria were discovered in Zhucheng.Previous research and the author's recent studies show that there may be three kinds of hadrosaurs and at least two kinds of tyrannosauridae in Zhucheng.The main taphonomic facies type of dinosaur fossils is mud flow deposits.Draught climate may have played important roles in the mortality of dinosaurs.Zhucheng dinosaur fauna is similar to the dinosaur assemblage in North America, providing abundant materials and evidence for the study of Cretaceous dinosaurs' migration, distribution, evolution, living environment and plate tectonics.
