摘　　要：莱阳是中国地质古生物学家在我国境内最早发现恐龙、恐龙蛋、翼龙等古脊椎动物化石重要的地点之一,同时也是古昆虫和鱼化石。目前已研究命名的恐龙和恐龙蛋化石分别有十多种之多,昆虫化石更是多达千余种。根据资料记载,早在1923年,著名地质学家谭锡畴在莱阳的将军顶一带发现比较完整的谭氏龙。1950年春天,Laiyang is one of the important places for our geological paleontologists to make the earliest discovery ＇of such ancient vertebrate fossils as dinosaurs, dinosaur eggs, pterosaurs and fossils of ancient beetles and fishes. Now over ten species of dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs have been named as well as over 1,000 beetle fossils. From the mid 20th century till now, many Chinese and foreign paleontologists and archaeologists have discovered a large number of dinosaur skeleton fossils and dinosaur egg fossils, which draw fairly high attention from the field about the Laiyang dinosaurs. Up to date the dinosaur fossils unearthed in Laiyang have included the hadrosaur, the Psittacosaurus, the Tanius and the tyrannosaurus. In 1984 the founding conference of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology of China （SVPC） was held in Laiyang. In December 2010 China Fossil Protection Foundation （CFPF） and stratum ＆ Paleontological Center Under Geological Survey of China officially awarded to Laiyang the title of ＂The Home of Dinosaurs in China＂ and made it the first city in Shandong who got this title.
