In other words pretty much all the places you'd expect to see quills.

Guess there's nothing wrong with that as a stylistic choice.

They had crocodillian like rectangular scales on their throats and upper chest too. Presumably, their whole belly area had those types of scales. |

From the footprints found in Alaska... Is it now safe to say that there was some kind of unknown Therizinosaur living in Cretaceous Alaska? And is there any estimation about the size of it?(estimate from the footprint) Edited by Mathius Tyra, Dec 12 2014, 08:35 AM.

The footprints were definately therizinosaurian, their footprints are....what can i say... rather distinctive from most theropods as a reflection of their more upright gait. plus there is a therizinosaur astragallus from hell creek, so its very likely there were atleast some therizinosaurs roaming north america by the end of the cretaceous.

And I remember reading somewhere of Therizinosaur remains from Dinosaur Park too. If only we had more materials about them ... |

Considering that the presence of therizinosaurs has long been known in North America and Asia, they'd have HAD to occur in Alaska at some point. That said, I wonder if it was cold enough for the thing to be genuinely WOOLLY. That'd be a fun concept. I mean, we already know from the rather basal Beipiaosaurus that at least that had extensive shaggy coating on the neck and possibly had a beard but who knows. It makes me happy that there's signs of therizinosaurs in Hell Creek. That was something I didn't know. If there's any further info on the alaskan footprint, link me. I might be able to help here.

So, we're most likely looking at an animal of a similar size and profile to Nothronychus? |

I'd say most likely yes, tough we can't really be sure. |

BTW I thought therizinosaurs were unusual among theropods in having four toes on each foot. I only see three on both of those footprints. |

You can see the fourth, small one on the right of the first (I think). |

there are four toes on both (altough notably less visible on the nothro, due erosion). |
