Summary[edit]

Description

Velociraptor mongoliensis Osborn, 1924 - fossil theropod dinosaur skull from the Cretaceous of the Gobi Desert. (left anterolateral view; sculpture by Steve Hoeger)

Theropod were small to large, bipedal dinosaurs. Almost all known members of the group were carnivorous (predators and/or scavengers). They represent the ancestral group to the birds, and some theropods are known to have had feathers, including this one - Velociraptor mongoliensis. Some of the most well known dinosaurs to the general public are theropods, such as Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.
