In the modern fauna, theropods are represented by over 11,000 species of birds, which are a group of maniraptoran theropods within the clade Avialae.. Theropoda (/ θ ɪəˈr ɒ p ə d ə /; [2] from ancient Greek θηρίο-ποδός [θηρίον, (therion) "wild beast"; πούς, ποδός (pous, podos) "foot"]), whose members are known as theropods, is an extant dinosaur clade that is ...
Theropod paleopathology is the study of injury and disease in theropod dinosaurs. In 2001, Ralph E. Molnar published a survey of pathologies in theropod dinosaur bone that uncovered pathological features in 21 genera from 10 theropod families .
This list of non-avian theropod type specimens is a list of fossils that are the official standard-bearers for inclusion in the Mesozoic species and genera of the dinosaur clade Theropoda, which includes the carnivorous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, their herbivorous relatives like the therizinosaurs, and birds.
Tyrannosaurus (/ t ɪ ˌ r æ n ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s, t aɪ-/) [a] is a genus of large theropod dinosaur.The type species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning 'king' in Latin), often shortened to T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented theropods.

Tameryraptor ("thief from the beloved land") is an extinct genus of large carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian age) Bahariya Formation of Egypt. The genus contains a single species , T. markgrafi , known from partial skull bones and vertebrae, and leg bones.
Various ichnotaxa (taxa based on trace fossils) have been attributed to Dilophosaurus or similar theropods. In 1971, Welles reported dinosaur footprints from the Kayenta Formation of northern Arizona, on two levels 14 m (45 ft) and 112 m (367 ft) below where the original Dilophosaurus specimens were found.
He noted the likeness of Carcharodontosaurus bones to the American theropods Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, leading him to consider the family part of Theropoda. [60] [13] Paul Sereno's description of Carcharodontosaurus fossils in 1996 led to the realization of a transcontinental clade of carcharodontosaurids. As more carcharodontosaurids were ...
