Suzhousaurusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Suzhousaurus is a genus of therizinosauroid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous-age Xinminpu Group of the Yujingzi Basin, Gansu, China. It is known from two partial postcranial skeletons, including a distinctive upper arm that establishes it as a therizinosauroid. Li and coauthors, who described the genus, performed a cladistic analysis that found the genus to be more derived than Beipiaosaurus and Falcarius, less derived than Alxasaurus and true therizinosaurids, and the sister taxon of Nothronychus, forming a clade with it. Along with "Nanshiungosaurus" bohlini, which may be about the same age, Suzhousaurus was one of the largest known Early Cretaceous therizinosauroids.
