Coelurosauria is a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs that includes compsognathids, tyrannosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and maniraptorans; Maniraptora includes birds, the only known dinosaur group alive today. [5] Most feathered dinosaurs discovered so far have been coelurosaurs.
Alvarezsauridae is a family of small, long-legged dinosaurs.Although originally thought to represent the earliest known flightless birds, they are now thought to be an early diverging branch of maniraptoran theropods.
Coelurus (/ s ɪ ˈ lj ʊər ə s / si-LURE-əs) is a genus of coelurosaurian dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period (mid-late Kimmeridgian faunal stage, 155–152 million years ago).). The name means "hollow tail", referring to its hollow tail vertebrae (Greek κοῖλος, koilos = hollow + οὐρά, oura = t
Oviraptoridae is a group of bird-like, herbivorous and omnivorous maniraptoran dinosaurs.Oviraptorids are characterized by their toothless, parrot-like beaks and, in some cases, elaborate crests.
In the modern fauna, theropods are represented by over 11,000 species of birds, which are a group of maniraptoran theropods within the clade Avialae.. Theropoda (/ θ ɪəˈr ɒ p ə d ə /; [2] from ancient Greek θηρίο-ποδός [θηρίον, (therion) "wild beast"; πούς, ποδός (pous, podos) "foot"]), whose members are known as theropods, is an extant dinosaur clade that is ...
Carpenter e.a. originally assigned Tanycolagreus to the Coeluridae. [2] Carpenter et al. (2005, p. 44) state that, of the other known Morrison theropods, this genus most closely resembles Coelurus, though it retains more "primitive" features.
