In 2014, Lautenschlager tested the function of various therizinosaur hand claws—including Therizinosaurus—through digital simulations. Three different functional scenarios were simulated for each claw morphology with a force of 400 N applied in each scenario: scratch/digging; hook-and-pull; and piercing.
The claws were unusually large, approximately 1 m (3.3 ft) long if restored, very straight and flattened. Maleev considered that the claws belonged to a giant marine turtle and named the new genus and species Therizinosaurus cheloniformis , also erecting the Therizinosauridae to include the new species.
Around 2005 partial therizinosaur material was collected from the Laijia Formation and later used to represent "Tiantaiosaurus sifengensis" (alternatively "Tiantaisaurus"), which is a currently unpuslihed and informal therizinosaur taxon. Qian and team in 2012 noted that a whole manuscript describing the taxon was written in 2007 but never ...
Nothronychus (meaning "slothful claw") is a genus of therizinosaurid theropod dinosaurs that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous period. The type species, Nothronychus mckinleyi, was described by James Kirkland and Douglas G. Wolfe in 2001.
In 2022, Kobayashi et al. described Paralitherizinosaurus as a new genus and species of therizinosaurid making it the third therizinosaur found in Japan. [3] This taxon represents the first named therizinosaur from Japan, with two other unnamed specimens being known.
Photos show the scaly animal discovered in a forest of southern India. ‘Dragon’-like creature — with ‘strong’ claws — found near bus stop. It’s a new species
Beipiaosaurus was a small therizinosaur, measuring 2.2 m (7.2 ft) in length, and before the discovery of Yutyrannus they were the largest dinosaurs known from direct evidence to be feathered. [1] It is estimated to have weighed about 27 kg (60 lb) based on femur length. [7]
Mazu’s porter crab is considered “large” and has “very long” legs with “blade-like” claws, the study said. Co-author Peter Ng told McClatchy News the crab’s body is about 1.2 ...
