Suzhousaurus
''Suzhousaurus'' is a genus of herbivorous therizinosauroid theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous-age Xinminpu Group of the Yujingzi Basin, Gansu, China.
==Discovery and naming==
The type species ''Suzhousaurus megatherioides'' was named and described by Li Daqing, Peng Cuo, You Hailu, Matthew Lamanna, Jerrald Harris, Kenneth Lacovara and Zhang Jianping in 2007. The generic name is derived from Suzhou, the old name for Jiuquan, the prefecture the find was made in during the late twentieth century. The specific name indicates a resemblance to ''Megatherium'', the giant ground sloth.〔
The holotype, FRDC-GSJB-99, was found in layers dating to the Aptian-Albian. It consists of a partial skeleton lacking the skull. It contains a distinctive right upper arm that establishes it as a therizinosauroid, a right scapula, ten dorsal vertebrae, ribs, a partial ilium and the pubis.〔 In 2008 another partial postcranial skeleton was described, specimen FRDC-GSJB-2004-001 found in 2004 at the same site. It contains the last three dorsal vertebrae, a sacrum of five vertebrae, the first six tail vertebrae, the left half of a pelvis and two thighbones.〔Li, D., You, H., and Zhang, J. (2008). "A new specimen of ''Suzhousaurus megatherioides'' (Dinosauria: Therizinosauroidea) from the Early Cretaceous of northwestern China." ''Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences'', 45(7): 769–779.〕
''Suzhousaurus'' might be identical to "Nanshiungosaurus" ''bohlini'', an earlier named therizinosauroid found in the same formation and also known from limited remains. If so, the species name would be ''Suzhousaurus bohlini''. A comparison is difficult because there is little overlapping material and the holotype of "Nanshiungosaurus" ''bohlini'' is lost.〔
