The type specimen of Troodon was simply an unusual tooth, but the close resemblance between Troodon teeth and pachycephalosaur teeth would cause taxonomic confusion for over a century. This was resolved by Phil Currie in 1987 , who realized that Troodon belonged to a group of bird -like carnivores then known as saurornithoidids, but since ...
Latenivenatrix, meaning "hiding huntress", is a genus of large troodontid known from a single species, L. mcmasterae.Along with the contemporary Stenonychosaurus, it is known from non-tooth fossils that were formerly assigned to the now potentially dubious genus Troodon.
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 mya). It includes at least one species, Troodon formosus, known from Montana.
Artistic restoration of Byronosaurus with secretary bird-like plumage. This timeline of troodontid research is a chronological listing of events in the history of paleontology focused on the troodontids, a group of bird-like theropod dinosaurs including animals like Troodon.
A model of the hypothetical Dinosauroid, Dinosaur Museum, Dorchester. In 1982, Dale A. Russell, then curator of vertebrate fossils at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa, conjectured a possible evolutionary path for Stenonychosaurus, if it had not perished in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, suggesting that it could have evolved into intelligent beings similar in body plan to ...
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.
The skin in the feet is wrong. The scales there should be very small (usually just simple tubercles), and the dorsal surfaces of the toes should be covered with scutes. See the review of Hendrickx et al. (2022), doi: 10.1111/brv.12829, fig. 2, how this should look. The neck is much too thick; the neck vertebrae are really really slender.
