Saurornitholestes was a small dromaeosaur, with the type species S. langstoni measuring about 1.3–1.8 m (4 ft 3 in – 5 ft 11 in) long and weighing approximately between 5 and 22.5 kg (11 and 50 lb).
The tusks grew by 2.5–15 cm (0.98–5.91 in) each year. Some cave paintings show woolly mammoths with small or no tusks, but whether this reflected reality or was artistic license is unknown. Female Asian elephants have no tusks, but no fossil evidence indicates that any adult woolly mammoths lacked them. [54] [55]
This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils. Some entries in this list are notable for a single, unique find, while others are notable for the large number of fossils found there.

The specimen consists of a partial cranium preserved on a slab and counterslab, two teeth, four dorsal vertebrae, a wing metacarpal, and other unidentified bone fragments. [ 1 ] The fossil material was first reported at an academic conference in 2024 before its formal description.
The term "small shelly fossils" was coined by Samuel Matthews and V. V. Missarzhevsky in 1975. [9] The term is often abbreviated to "small shellies" or "SSF". [3] It is quite a misnomer since, as Stefan Bengtson says, "they are not always small, they are commonly not shelly – and the term might equally well apply to Pleistocene periwinkles."
Quihua’s dwarf geckos are considered “small,” measuring about 2.5 inches in length, the study said. They have “cone-shaped” heads with “bronze” eyes. Their limbs are “short” and ...
Ornithomimidae (meaning "bird-mimics") is an extinct family of theropod dinosaurs which bore a superficial resemblance to modern ostriches.Ornithomimids were fast, omnivorous or herbivorous dinosaurs known mainly from the Late Cretaceous Period of Laurasia (now Asia and North America), though they have also been reported from the Lower Cretaceous Wonthaggi Formation of Australia.
