I'm familiar with Nothronychus, as this was the oldest therizinosaur to be described from western North America until the description of Falcarius, and it co-existed with the horned dinosaur Zuniceratops, the tyrannosaur Suskityrannus, and the hadrosaur Jeyawati in western New Mexico during the Turonian. The only known specimen of Nothronychus graffami was found in marine deposits in Utah, so it definitely washed out to sea by a river stream.
