If you've been to the Museum of Northern Arizona in the past year, you've seen the spectacular therizinosaur exhibit put together by paleontologist David Gillette. The rest of the world is now starting to see what the excitement's about.
The results of the discovery were published this week in Proceedings of the Royal Society B and the news media, always on the alert for good dinosaur discoveries, are playing it up.

The exhibit Therizinosaur: Mystery of the Sickle-Claw Dinosaur, will run until this September then move to the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa.
