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.
Catherine Forster and others found that troodontids were the sister group of the avialans. [2] Sereno defined the Troodontidae as all taxa more closely related to Troodon formosus than to Velociraptor mongoliensis. [14] 1999. Fernando Emilio Novas and others reported a possible troodontid specimen from Coniacian to Turonian-aged sediments in ...
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).
A paleontologist called the park “the most important dinosaur dig site in America east of the Mississippi.” ‘Rare find’ of 115-million-year-old fossils unearthed in Maryland. ‘This is a ...
More than 260 dinosaur footprints discovered in Brazil and Cameroon provide further evidence that South America and Africa were once connected as part of a giant continent millions of years ago.
California topped the list with 1,922 fossils found, the report read, followed by Wyoming with 1,135 fossils and Montana with 939. More: Oldest species of tree-climbing reptile discovered in New ...
Although several Troodontid teeth were found, with the troodontid Koparion named in 1994, [2] [3] a well preserved skeleton wasn't found until in 2001, a field crew from the Tate Museum supervised by William Wahl unexpectedly discovered the type skeleton Hesperornithoides in Jimbo Quarry of the Morrison Formation, overlying the excavation site of Supersaurus vivianae, near Douglas, Wyoming.

The Late Jurassic of North America, however, is the exact opposite of the Middle Jurassic. The Late Jurassic Morrison Formation is found in several U.S. states, including Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. It is notable as being the most fertile single source of dinosaur fossils in the world.
