== Head and neck of ''N. graffami'' ? ==
The caption of the image in the taxobox was saying that it was a cast of the skull and neck of N. graffami. The animal is known from a nearly complete postcranial skeleton, missing the skull and most of the neck, so it was kind of odd to display the cast of the only missing parts.

'Toothless beak' and 'small mouth with leaf shaped teeth' ??? As far as I know, no theropods ever developed into fully fledged veggies. I'm not an expert so have not edited the text, but it needs looking at. 86.8.136.217 22:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually (I don't have the refs on-hand, but it's discussed in the second edition of The Dinosauria), paleontologists are pretty comfortable with the idea of therizinosaurs as herbivores. J. Spencer 22:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If someone could post or point to an image of the actual remains that may help. A google image search finds two rather different interpretations...86.8.136.217 22:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Head and neck of N. graffami ?

The caption of the image in the taxobox was saying that it was a cast of the skull and neck of N. graffami. The animal is known from a nearly complete postcranial skeleton, missing the skull and most of the neck, so it was kind of odd to display the cast of the only substantially missing parts.
