Nuthetes
Nuthetes was a small, meat-eating dinosaur that lived about 143 million years ago. It had sharp, serrated teeth like a steak knife, perfect for slicing through flesh. Scientists think it might have been one of the earliest dromaeosaurids, the group that includes Velociraptor.1

Nuthetes was first thought to be a lizard or a crocodile, but later scientists realized it was a dinosaur.1
Its name comes from Greek and means 'one who admonishes' or 'a monitor', because its teeth look like those of a modern monitor lizard.1
Nuthetes is known only from teeth and jaw fragments, so scientists are not sure exactly what it looked like.1
If Nuthetes was a dromaeosaurid, it would be one of the oldest dromaeosaurids ever found.1
Some scientists think Nuthetes might be a tyrannosauroid instead of a dromaeosaurid, because its teeth look similar to those of Proceratosaurus.1
The first Nuthetes fossil was found by Charles Willcox, an amateur fossil hunter, in a quarry near Swanage, England.1
Nuthetes was about the size of a modern Bengal monitor lizard, which is around 1.5 to 2 meters long.1
