The only known fossil is a nearly complete skeleton, but it is missing the legs and most of the pelvis.1
Kayrasaurus was about 1.6 times larger than its relative Beipiaosaurus, which lived at the same time and place.2
The fossil was flattened into nearly two dimensions, like a pancake, during the process of fossilization.1
