  Segnosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Segnosaurus ("slow lizard") was a theropod dinosaur belonging to the family Therizinosauridae.
Segnosaurus can be distinguished from other therizinosaurs on the basis of mesial mandibular teeth that are markedly flattened and only slightly recurved and by the moderate compression of the pedal unguals.
The latero-dorsal shelf on the dentary starts at the fourteenth dentary tooth position and runs backwards for half the length of the lower jaw, unlike the shelf in Erlikosaurus which starts at the fifth tooth position.

SEGNOSAURUS (SEG-no-sawr-us) "Slow Lizard" (Latin segnis = slow + Greek sauros = lizard, possibly because it seems to be an evloutionary throwback)
From the tip of its nose to the end of its TAIL, Segnosaurus was probably 23 feet (7 m) long and 6 feet (1.8 m) tall at the hips.
Segnosaurus is known from a jaw, fore and hind limbs, pelvis, and several other bones.

Segnosaurus (pronounced seg-no-SAWR-us) was a meat-eating dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, about 97.5 to 88.3 million years ago.
Segnosaurus (meaning "slow lizard") walked on two long legs.
Segnosaurus was perhaps 13 to 30 feet (4-9 m) long; its size is uncertain.

The phalanges are said to differ from Segnosaurus and Erlikosaurus in being more elongate, but this is probably because they are manual phalanges instead of pedal phalanges (their ligament pits are reduced).
The pubic shafts are said to be separated by a "deep, longitudinal depression" that continues onto the "anterior portion of the shaft".
The pelvis of Segnosaurus (GM 100/80) and Nanshiungosaurus are similar in size assuming the smaller size estimate, with two other Segnosaurus specimens being slightly larger.

Metatarsal 4 is rudimentary compared to other Therizinosaurs, but he hasn't lost it yet, so that the later genera have this bone still.
Beipiaosaurus is from the early Cretaceous and Segnosaurus from the late Cretaceous, although Segnosaurus is in morphology more primitive than B. Both Beipiaosaurus and Segnosaurus have five metatarsals, like most theropods (Jibeinia + Ornithothoraces lost mtV, and derived ornithomimids and Avimimus lost mtI).
The fifth metatarsal of Beipiaosaurus isn't illustrated, but the authors say it is "slender and strap-like", being half the length of the main metatarsals.

The four predators were lying motionless in wait in their hideouts and were situated in the opposite direction of the Segnosaurus, so he could not scent them.
They still waited in their position and watched the Segnosaurus getting nearer, and suddenly the leader let out a low, hardly audible growl.
Finally the four Raptors took the lifeless body of the Segnosaurus to the cave, for a whole pack was waiting for meat at home.

Most projections I have seen have been for this larger size, but it it is a guess of course, since we only have the arms.
They may have swum and hunted fish, although their short beaks and small, lanceolate teeth argue against this.
It has been suggested that their claws may have been used to rip open termite mounds, but it is difficult to believe that animals as large as Segnosaurus and especially Therizinosaurus could have survived on such a diet.

Now fast forward to 1979: Mongolian palaeontologist Altangerel Perle describes *Segnosaurus galbinensis* and erects the Segnosauridae to accomodate it.
Next year he pens *Erlikosaurus andrewsi* and in 1983, with comrade Rinchen Barsbold, bags *Enigmosaurus mongoliensis*, both of which are also shoved in the Segnosauridae (the dinosaurs, not the palaeontologists) - although *Enigmosaurus* intially got its own family.
By the 1990s, it was becoming increasingly clear that *Therizinosaurus* and *Segnosaurus & friends* were effectively the same kind of critter - thanks mainly to the discovery of the decent skeleton of *Alxasaurus* in 1988 - and by the mid-90s, the Segnosauridae had been sunk into the Therizinosauridae.

As such, basal therizinosaurs are a testament to our ever-improving understanding of the fossil record and macroevolutionary patterns.
Therizinosaurs (formerly known as segnosaurs) include a few poorly known taxa such as Therizinosaurus cheloniformis, Alxasaurus elesitaiensis, Erlikosaurus andrewsi and Segnosaurus galbinensis, all of which are sufficiently similar to be placed in this enigmatic clade.
Therizinosaur fossils have been found in Early through Late Cretaceous deposits in Mongolia and the People's Republic of China.

At least for 2 days now and my main interests go to the Spinosaurids and Therizinosaurids, also I'm working on a website but that is still very much work in progress.
What is was wondering: why does Segnosaurus have 5 metatarsels when one of the earlier genera, Beipiaosaurus, has only 4?
Beipiaosaurus is from the early Cretaceous and Segnosaurus from the late Cretaceous, although Segnosaurus is in morphology more primitive than B. Could Segnosaurus be a "living fossil" at his time and possibly being a direct descendant of a pre-Cretaceous ancestor?

Segnosaurus means 'slow lizard', and this dinosaur was a segnosaur - one of a group of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs found in the Bayn Shireh region Mongolia with both saurischian and ornithischian features.
This two-legged carnivore (it may also have eaten plants) was 23-30ft long and had 24 small sharp cheek teeth on each side of its jaw.
