Here’s Falcarius suarezarum for !

This is the type specimen and upper jaw of the therizinosaur dinosaur from the Prehistoric Museum collections. One of the earliest members of a group of theropod dinosaurs that evolved to be herbivores, it is a species unique to our museum! This animal was described in a publication this fall in a collaboration between NC Museum of Natural Sciences and us, led by Dr. Willie Freimuth. 3D reconstruction of Falcarius in the background by Cliff Green. Open access publication available in the comments.
