Dromaeosaurus (/ ˌ d r oʊ m i ə ˈ s ɔːr ə s,-m i. oʊ-/; [3] lit. ' running lizard ') is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period (middle late Campanian and Maastrichtian), sometime between 80 and 69 million years ago, in Alberta, Canada and the western United States.
It is known from two teeth, the first of which was found in 2000 and the second in 2008. Based on the first tooth (the holotype), the genus and species Dromaeosauroides bornholmensis was named in 2003. The genus name means "Dromaeosaurus-like", due to
Deinonychus (/ d aɪ ˈ n ɒ n ɪ k ə s / [1] dy-NON-ih-kəs; from Ancient Greek δεινός (deinós) 'terrible' and ὄνυξ (ónux), genitive ὄνυχος (ónukhos) 'claw') is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur with one described species, Deinonychus antirrhopus.
The genus contains a single species, Utahraptor ostrommaysi. It is the largest-known member of the family Dromaeosauridae, measuring about 6–7 metres (20–23 ft) long and typically weighing up to 500 kilograms (1,100 lb).
Unenlagia (meaning "half-bird" in Latinized Mapudungun) is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in South America during the Late Cretaceous period. [1] The genus Unenlagia has been assigned two species: U. comahuensis, the type species described by Novas and Puerta in 1997, [1] and U. paynemili, described by Calvo et al. in 2004.
Dromaeosauriformipes represents one of the few known fossil records of Early Cretaceous dromaeosaurids in South Korea, along with the indeterminate dromaeosaurid femur from the Gugyedong Formation and two ichnospecies of Dromaeosauripus, D. hamanensis from the Haman Formation and D. jinjuensis from the Jinju Formation.
