Therizinosaurus (/ ˌ θ ɛ r ə ˌ z ɪ n oʊ ˈ s ɔːr ə s / ⓘ; meaning 'scythe lizard') is a genus of very large therizinosaurid dinosaurs that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now the Nemegt Formation around 70 million years ago. It contains a single species, Therizinosaurus cheloniformis.
Therizinosaurids were generally large and very robustly built animals that had a near convergent body plan with the more recent (and also extinct) ground sloths. The largest genera of the group are Therizinosaurus and Segnosaurus, which were about 10 m (33 ft) and 7 m (23 ft) long, respectively. The physiology of therizinosaurids include a ...
Barsbold proposed the Deinocheirosauria and included Therizinosaurus as a member. [5] In another paper during the same year, Barsbold referred a shoulder and forearm found in the same strata as the Therizinosaurus type specimen to that genus because of the resemblance between the specimens claws. He observed that the anatomy of the arm and ...
To-day and To-morrow (sometimes written Today and Tomorrow) was a series of 110 [citation needed] speculative essays published as short books by the London publishers Kegan Paul between 1923 and 1931 (and published in the United States by E. P. Dutton, New York). [1] As Fredric Warburg proudly recalled in 1959: It was a unique publishing event.
Subsequent to its publication, All Yesterdays has proven influential on the modern culture of palaeoart. [1] The book and its associated concepts have sometimes appeared in publications covering the nature, history, and 'best practices' of palaeoart, particularly in the context of emphasizing the need for modern depictions of dinosaurs to be consistent with how living animals look and behave.

Forelimbs of Therizinosaurus, specimen IGM 100/15 displayed at Nagoya City Science Museum. Therizinosaurs were long considered an enigmatic group, whose mosaic of features resembling those of various different dinosaur groups, and scarcity of their fossils, led to controversy over their evolutionary relationships for decades after their initial discovery.
IFC Films and AMC Networks’ streamer Shudder have acquired “Dangerous Animals,” Sean Byrne (“The Devil’s Candy”)’s buzzy movie from LD Entertainment, for the U.S.
Size comparison. Beipiaosaurus was a small therizinosaur, with the largest specimen having an estimated length of 2.2 m (7.2 ft). [2] In 2013, Lindsay E. Zanno and Peter Makovicky estimated its body mass at around 27 kg (60 lb), based on the length of its femur. [8]
