There is no official, canonical list of pterosaur genera, but the most thorough attempts can be found at the Pterosauria section of Mikko Haaramo's Phylogeny Archive, [1] the Genus Index at Mike Hanson's The Pterosauria, [2] supplemented by the Pterosaur Species List, [3] and in the fourth supplement of Donald F. Glut's Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia series.
The closest is the Dinosaur Genera List, compiled by biological nomenclature expert George Olshevsky, which was first published online in 1995 and was regularly updated until June 2021. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The most authoritative general source in the field is the second (2004) edition of The Dinosauria .

Dinosaur reproduction. Model of a dinosaur egg. Dinosaur reproduction shows correlation with archosaur physiology, with newborns hatching from eggs that were laid in nests. [1][2] Dinosaurs did not nurture their offspring as mammals typically do, and because dinosaurs did not nurse, it is likely that most dinosaurs were capable of surviving on ...

Therizinosaurus (/ ˌθɛrəˌzɪnoʊˈsɔːrəs / ⓘ; meaning 'scythe lizard') is a genus of very large therizinosaurid that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now the Nemegt Formation around 70 million years ago.
