==Discovery and naming==
The [[holotype]] of ''G. kangi'', an almost complete skeleton, was found in 2008 in Fuyuan, [[Yunnan Province, Republic of China|Yunnan Province]] of central China in the [[Zhuganpo Formation]]. It is preserved in a thick block of [[limestone]], and so the ventral side is not well known. The total length is 873 mm.<ref name="ZLLH08" />
