Since Velociraptor was the first to be named, these species were renamed Velociraptor antirrhopus and V. langstoni. [22] As of 2008, the only currently recognized species of Velociraptor are V. mongoliensis [14] [37] [38] and V. osmolskae. [15] However, several studies have found "V." osmolskae to be distantly related to V. mongoliensis. [39] [40]
The Fighting Dinosaurs is a fossil specimen which was found in the Late Cretaceous Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia in 1971. It preserves a Protoceratops andrewsi and Velociraptor mongoliensis trapped in combat about 74 million years ago [ 1 ] and provides direct evidence of predatory behavior in non- avian dinosaurs .

The fossils include unique species of fish that had never been found in the area before. The discovery is reshaping views on California geology with the possibility of extinct islands.
Multiple fossils of Microraptor preserve pennaceous, vaned feathers like those of modern birds on the arms, legs, and tail, along with covert and contour feathers. [24] Velociraptor is geologically younger than Deinonychus, but even more closely related. A specimen of Velociraptor has been found with quill knobs on the ulna. Quill knobs are ...
With no buyers, the fossils were slated to be sold to a private collector instead. In 2013, Larson presented a poster about the tyrannosaur (also referred to as "Bloody Mary", specimen number BHI 6437) at the annual Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting, pronouncing it as a potential specimen of the debated tyrannosaur genus " Nanotyrannus ".
