Illustration of the pelvis from the theropod dinosaur Siamotyrannus isanensis. Siamotyrannus lived in Thailand, according to scientists about 90 MYA. It has been estimated to a length of 7 meter, and a weight of about 2 tonnes. Scientists has been uncertain if Siamotyrannus is a member of the family Tyrannosauridae or to Sinraptoridae.
