1

Alxasaurus is one of the earliest known therizinosauroids, but it already had the long neck, short tail, and big claws of later relatives.1

2

Its hand claws were long, curved, and sharp, but it used them for gathering plants, not for hunting.1

3

Alxasaurus had a semilunate carpal bone in its wrist, a feature shared with birds and other maniraptoran theropods.1

4

Five specimens of Alxasaurus were found together in 1988 during the China-Canada Dinosaur Project.1

5

Its fossils come from the Bayin-Gobi Formation, which is about 113 to 100 million years old (Early Cretaceous).12

6

The discovery of Alxasaurus helped prove that therizinosaurs were actually weird theropod dinosaurs, not late-surviving sauropodomorphs.1

Anc discutà
Scientists are not sure exactly how Alxasaurus is related to other therizinosaurs, because its skeleton shows a mix of primitive and advanced features.1
