They found the bite force of Deinonychus to be between 4,100 and 8,200 newtons, greater than living carnivorous mammals including the hyena, and equivalent to a similarly-sized alligator. [ 49 ] However, this estimate has come into question, as it was based on bite marks rather than a Deinonychus skull.
Late in 1964, he discovered Deinonychus fossils near the town of Bridger, Montana. [ 22 ] [ 24 ] He also discovered and named Tenontosaurus fossils from the Cloverly Formation. [ 25 ] In 1966 John H. Ostrom helped to establish Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill, Connecticut ("because the governor was besieged by letters from schoolchildren ...
It is believed to be from Appalachia because it was found closer to the Appalachia side of the sea and is unknown from Laramidia. "Coelosaurus" Upper Cretaceous: omnivore: May be synonymous with Ornithomimus. Its remains have been found New Jersey.

Not long after, Velociraptor was discovered in Mongolia by the Central Asiatic Expedition. Dromaeosaur research was fairly quiet until the 1960s, when John Ostrom described the new genus and species Deinonychus antirrhopus. [2]

First, John Ostrom discovered the bird-like dromaeosaurid theropod Deinonychus and described it in 1969. Its anatomy indicated that it was an active predator that was likely warm-blooded, in marked contrast to the then-prevailing image of dinosaurs. [ 59 ]
Deinonychosauria is a clade of paravian dinosaurs which lived from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous periods. Fossils have been found across the globe in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and Antarctica, [2] with fossilized teeth giving credence to the possibility that they inhabited Australia as well.
