Prettige feite

A tooth from Saurornitholestes was found stuck in the wing bone of a giant pterosaur, maybe a Quetzalcoatlus.1

Saurornitholestes was more lightly built and longer-legged than Velociraptor.1

It lived during the Late Cretaceous, from about 83.6 to 66 million years ago.3

Saurornitholestes used a 'puncture and pull' feeding method, like other meat-eating dinosaurs.1

It is the most common small theropod found in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada.1

It lived during the Late Cretaceous, between about 76.5 and 74.8 million years ago.2

?Where was Saurornitholestes found?

Fossils have been found in Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan) and the United States (Montana, New Mexico, Alabama, and South Carolina).1

?Was Saurornitholestes bigger than Velociraptor?

It was about the same size as Velociraptor, but more lightly built and longer-legged.1 2
