An international team has just identified a new species of therizinosaur with impressive claws. Its exceptionally well-preserved fossils reveal a unique anatomy within this group

An international team of paleontologists and Earth scientists has identified fossilized remains as a two-clawed therizinosaur. The fossils were unearthed more than a decade ago in Mongolia. Their paper is published in the journal iScience.

Scientists have discovered a new species of dinosaur in Mongolia's Gobi Desert. Called Duonychus tsogtbaatari, the dinosaur has two foot-long clawed fingers on each hand, one fewer than its fellow therizinosauria.

While Duonychus tsogtbaatari had formidable claws, they were likely used to grasp vegetation, according to a study of a fully preserved fossil from the Gobi Desert.

Paleontologists unearthed a fully preserved claw fossil. The prehistoric remains were found in Mongolia’s. A recreation revealed the dinosaur the clawed-hand belonged to had two fingers. Researchers suggest the unknown species looked like a mix between a sloth,

Duonychus tsogtbaatari is a newly discovered plant-eater that roamed Earth tens of millions of years ago. It had a long neck, two legs, and two massive claws.
