Baotianmansaurus is an extinct genus of somphospondylian sauropod. Its fossils were discovered in the Late Cretaceous Gaogou Formation of Henan Province, China. The type and only species is B. henanensis — named after the province in which it was found. ==Discovery and naming== The fossils of Baotianmansaurus were discovered at a locality called Neixiang, near Nanyang City in the Henan Province of China. This locality is part of the Baotianman National Nature Reserve corresponds to the rocks of the Gaogou Formation. Dinosaur body fossils in this formation are rare, but a wide variety of egg fossils from dinosaurs and other animals have been found. The holotype, and only known specimen of Baotianmansaurus was given the designation 41HIII-0200 and is stored at the Henan Geological Museum in Zhengzhou.
It was described and given a name in April 2009 by a team of researchers including Zhang Xingliao, Lü Junchang, Xu Li, Li Jinhua, Hu Weiyong, Jia Songhai, Ji Qiang, and Zhang Chengjun in conjunction with the Henan Geological Museum, the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, and Lanzhou University. The genus was named "Baotianmansaurus" after the Baotianman Nature Reserve and the traditional Greek word saûros (σαῦρος), Latinized as saurus, meaning "lizard". The species epithet, "henanensis" is after the Henan province in which it was found.
