The recently announcet therizinosaur from New Mexico isn’t the only
North American Therizinosaurid. There is a frontal from Dinosaur Provincal Park
and Dave Gillette will talk about another therizinosaur from Utah at the NAPC. The
abstract states its from a marine deposit (and that therizinosaurs may have
been partially aquatic (?)). The skeleton is partially articulated and consists
of ribs, sacrum hind limbs, and caudals. The femur is approximately 70 cm long, tibia 63 cm and metatarsals 23. Wish I could afford to make the trip but I can’t, I hope he talks about
it at the SVP this year. You can see the abstracts (all the abstracts) at the
web site for the NAPC www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/napc/abs9.html Tracy L. Ford P. O. Box 1171 Poway Ca
