An international team of paleontologists and Earth scientists has identified fossilized remains as a two-clawed therizinosaur. The fossils were unearthed more than a decade ago in Mongolia. Their paper is published in the journal iScience.

Paleontologists unearthed the fossil in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, and the find is unique because of a sheath preserved on one of the digits, which reveals the claw’s true length.

Scientists have discovered a new species of dinosaur in Mongolia's Gobi Desert. Called Duonychus tsogtbaatari, the dinosaur has two foot-long clawed fingers on each hand, one fewer than its fellow therizinosauria.
