Therizinosaurus

Therizinosaurus (meaning 'scythe lizard') is a genus of very large therizinosaurid dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Asia. It contains a single species, Therizinosaurus cheloniformis, known from the fossiliferous Nemegt Formation. The first remains of Therizinosaurus were found in 1948 by a Mongolian field expedition in the Gobi Desert and later described by Evgeny Maleev in 1954.
