Prettige feite

1

Nothronychus was the first therizinosaur ever found in the Americas. All earlier therizinosaur fossils came from China and Mongolia.1

2

Its claws were up to 30 centimeters (12 inches) long and curved like hooks. Scientists think it used them to pull down branches to eat.1

3

Nothronychus had four forward-facing toes on each foot, which helped it walk slowly and steadily.1

4

One species, Nothronychus graffami, was found in rocks that were once under a shallow sea called the Western Interior Seaway. The dinosaur's bones were mixed with marine reptile fossils.1

5

Nothronychus lived about 94 to 89 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.14

6

The first Nothronychus bone was mistaken for part of a horned dinosaur's skull. Only later did scientists realize it was a hip bone from a therizinosaur.1

?How big was Nothronychus?

No feather fossils have been found, but its relatives had feathers, so scientists think it probably did too.3

?When did Nothronychus live?

It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 94 to 89 million years ago.2

?Where was Nothronychus found?

Fossils have been found in New Mexico and Utah, USA.12

?Why did Nothronychus have long claws?

It used its long, curved claws to pull down branches so it could eat leaves.1

Ontdekking
Nothronychus was named in 2001 by paleontologists James Kirkland and Douglas Wolfe. The first fossils were found in New Mexico on land owned by rancher Bobby McKinley, who the species N. mckinleyi is named after.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure if Nothronychus had feathers. Since it is a theropod closely related to birds, it might have had feathers, but no direct fossil evidence has been found yet.1
