Suzhousaurus megatheroides
Suzhousaurus is a genus of herbivorous therizinosauroid theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous-age Xinminpu Group of the Yujingzi Basin, Gansu, China. The generic name is derived from Suzhou, the old name for Jiuquan, the prefecture the find was made in during the late twentieth century. The specific name indicates a resemblance to Megatherium, the giant ground sloth. Along with "Nanshiungosaurus" bohlini, which has the same age, Suzhousaurus was one of the largest known Early Cretaceous therizinosauroids. In 2010 Gregory S. Paul estimated the body length at six metres, the weight at 1.3 tonnes. Suzhousaurus is distinguished by a straight flat front part of the ilium and a flattened pubis curving strongly forward forming a hollow front edge of its shaft. Drexel University paleontologist Dr. Kenneth Lacovara described the environment as a "warm, semi-arid plain dotted with shallow, ephemeral lakes. It shared its world with a host of other Early Cretaceous dinosaurs, including giant, long-necked, plant-eating sauropods and early relatives of duck-billed herbivores.
Bistahieversor sealeyi
Bistahieversor (meaning "Bistahi destroyer") is a genus of tyrannosauroid dinosaur. Bistahieversor existed around 75 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous. The name Bistahieversor comes from the Navajo Bistahí, or "place of the adobe formations" in reference to the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness where it was found, and eversor, meaning "destroyer." Material from both adolescent and adult individuals has been found in the Kirtland Formation of New Mexico, United States. Adult Bistahieversor are estimated to have been around 9 metres (30 ft) long, weighing at least a ton. The snout is deep, indicating that the feature is not unique to more derived tyrannosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus. Geographical barriers such as the newly forming Rocky Mountains may have isolated the more southerly Bistahieversor from more derived northern tyrannosaurs.
