Troodon (/ ˈ t r oʊ. ə d ɒ n / TROH-ə-don; Troödon in older sources) is a former wastebasket taxon and a potentially dubious genus of relatively small, bird-like theropod dinosaurs definitively known from the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous period (about 77 million years ago). It includes at least one species, Troodon formosus, known ...
Troodontidae / t r oʊ. ə ˈ d ɒ n t ɪ d iː / is a clade of bird-like theropod dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous.During most of the 20th century, troodontid fossils were few and incomplete and they have therefore been allied, at various times, with many dinosaurian lineages.
Cladogram showing distribution of feathers in Dinosauria, as of 2019. The groups that are marked with scales did not necessarily lack feathers but simply have never been found with feather impressions. The following cladogram is from Xu (2020). [66] Slender monofilamentous integument; Broad monofilamentous integument; Basally joining ...
The fossils also showed body and wing feathers that would have been used to fly. Researchers also found that the dinosaurs' feathers were unique, much like bird feathers, and discovered "distinct ...
Thus, aerodynamically speaking, the feathers in the tail of Jianianhualong likely did not have the same function as those of modern birds. [31] Regardless, the subtriangular outline of the tail frond, as well as the slots separating the tips of individual feathers, would have provided drag reduction when the tail was in use.

Feathers were very unlikely to have evolved more than once, so assuming that any given dromaeosaurid, such as Utahraptor, lacked feathers would require positive evidence that they did not have them. [18] So far, there is nothing to suggest that feathers were lost in larger, more derived species of dromaeosaurs. [19]
Seoul (Reuters) -Investigators found bird feathers and blood in both engines of the Jeju Air jet that crashed in South Korea last month, killing 179 people, a person familiar with the probe told ...
The Troodon were shown walking flat-footed. The Troodon was shown without a sickle claw. The Ornithomimus and Troodon don't have any feathers, as was commonly thought in research at the time of writing. Dr. Skeledon was played by Rita Moreno, with whom Tomlin shared the role of Violet Newstead from Nine to Five.
