Therizinosaurs in Art

It's that time again, artists!  Here is an overview of therizinosaurs in art, where we compile professional reconstructions of the animal in the next Gallery.  March 1st, 2010 is the deadline for submissions for the Therizinosaur Time Capsule!



Therizinosaurs have had a long and convoluted history when it comes to reconstructions.  Meat-eater or plant-eater?  Prosauropod or coelurosaur?  Skin or feathers?  These questions led to wild variations in what a therizinosaur looked like!  Below is a selection of therizinosaurs in art - click to enlarge...
