Prettige feite

1

Erliansaurus had very long and sharp claws on its hands, and the thumb claw was the biggest of all.1

2

Its left arm is almost complete and beautifully preserved, which is why its species name means 'beautiful hand'.1

3

No skull bones of Erliansaurus have ever been found, so we don't know exactly what its head looked like.1

4

Erliansaurus lived at the same time and place as another therizinosaur called Neimongosaurus.1

5

Its thigh bone (femur) is very straight and about 41 centimeters (16 inches) long.1

6

Erliansaurus was a therizinosaur, a group of dinosaurs that looked like they had potbellies, long necks, and huge claws.1

?How big was Erliansaurus?

?Why is Erliansaurus called 'beautiful hand'?

Its species name, bellamanus, means 'beautiful hand' in Latin because its left arm and claws are so well preserved.1

Ontdekking
Erliansaurus was discovered in 1999 near Sanhangobi in Inner Mongolia. A team of scientists led by Xu Xing named it in 2002, and the name comes from the town of Erlian.12
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure whether Erliansaurus is a primitive or a more advanced therizinosaur. Different studies place it in different parts of the family tree.1
