Ebyewuunyisa
Geminiraptor is named after twin geologists Marina and Celina Suarez, who discovered the fossil site. The name means 'twin seizer'.1
Only one piece of the skull, an upper jaw bone called a maxilla, has been found. Scientists think the whole dinosaur was about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long.1
Its upper jaw had at least 19 teeth, and the sockets were square-shaped, which is unusual. This feature is only known in one other troodontid, Sinovenator.1
Geminiraptor's upper jaw had a big air pocket inside, giving it a triangular shape when cut across. This helped make the skull lighter.1
It lived alongside other dinosaurs such as the theropods Falcarius and Yurgovuchia, the sauropod Mierasaurus, and the large plant-eater Iguanacolossus.1

- Scientists are not sure exactly where Geminiraptor fits in the troodontid family tree. It might be closely related to Sinovenator because both have bony walls between their tooth sockets.1
