Dinofact #118
Falcarius is considered the most basal therizinosaurian genus, and considered the transitional dinosaur between the standard theropod bodyplan and the unusual appearance of therizinosaurids. Unlike more advanced therizinosaurs, Falcarius had a propubic pelvis, three-toed feet, and a smaller first toe.

Monday Musings: Asian Ties
Just like we saw last Monday with the similarities to European dinosaurs, there are similar ties with Asian dinosaurs in the Cedar Mountain Formation. Let's take a look at a few.
Falcarius is a therizinosaur from the Cedar Mountain Formation while Alaxasaurus is a therizinosaur from Mongolia.
Geminiraptor is a troodontid from the Cedar Mountain Formation while it's cousin Sinornithoides was from China.
There is the Hadrosauromorphs Eolambia from the Cedar Mountain
and Jintasaurus from China.
Xingtianosaurus is an oviraptorid from China and there is a new undescribed oviraptorid in the Cedar Mountain Formation.
Finally, there is an undescribed neoceratopsian in the Cedar Mountain Formation like the many found in Asia like Archaeoceratops.

Wipeout the Dinosaur
Dino OC
His name is Wipeout the Dinosaur. He's a Falcarius. He was a Grand Prix legend until a growth spurt made him too heavy for his board or his dreams to take off. Now he's an instructor who teaches children to ride Extreme Gear. Kids love him, but he takes that for granted because children love dinosaurs.

#Archovember Day 27 - Animantarx ramaljonesi
Animantarx ramaljonesi was a nodosaurid from Cretaceous Western North America. Like other nodosaurs, it was heavily armoured but lacked a tail club. Yet with a name meaning “Living Fortress” it’s clear that, however small, Animantarx’s spiky neck armour would have made it just a bit too much effort for many predators.
Fossils in the Cedar Mountain Formation are often slightly radioactive, and Animantarx was the first dinosaur to be discovered through technology, following a radiological survey performed in the area. Animantarx was completely buried beneath the surface, but the radioactivity of its fossilized bones set off the scanner! That being sad, not much of its skeleton was found. Only the lower jaw, the back half of the skull, neck and back vertebrae, and parts of both front and hind legs were recovered. No other specimens of Animantarx have been found since. But this was enough to see that it was related to the giant nodosaur Peloroplites and fill in the pieces from there.
Animantarx would have lived alongside ornithopods like Eolambia (also discovered by the same couple, Carole and Ramal Jones, via radiography), Hippodraco, Iguanacolossus, Planicoxa, and Tenontosaurus, sauropods like Abydosaurus, Brontomerus, Cedarosaurus, and Moabosaurus, the basal therizinosaur Falcarius, the troodontid Geminiraptor, the tyrannosauroid Moros, the ornithomimosaur Nedcolbertia, the allosauroid Siats, the giant dromeaosaurid Utahraptor, and fellow ankylosaurs like Cedarpelta, Gastonia, and Peloroplites.
