Warning: therizinosaurus wasn't a carnivore ! but I really don't know how to place him in the dinosaurs' classification. It's stated that he stemmed from a carnivorous ancestor, and become an herbivore, so...
" The first fossil remains of Therizinosaurus were discovered in 1948 by a joint Soviet-Mongolian fossil expedition, in the Nemegt Formation of southwestern Mongolia. The expedition unearthed several giant claws that measured, including presumed horn sheaths, up to a metre in length. These were named and described by the Russian paleontologist Evgeny Maleev in 1954. Further expeditions unearthed more fossils. The first were specimens IGM 100/15-17: several more sets of claws and parts of the forelimbs, described by Rinchen Barsbold in 1976. Another find was specimen IGM 100/45, consisting of hindlimbs, described by Altangerel Perle in 1982. "
