Dromaeosaurus albertensis
Dromaeosaurus albertensis
Dromaeosaurus albertensis is one of the rarest theropods from the American west. They were closely related to the Asian Velociraptor but significantly larger. While best known from Judithian-aged deposits (75 million years old) it is also thought to be represented by fragmentary remains in the end-cretaceous Hell Creek Formation. This replica is based off of information gleaned from several important skeletons, as well as representative parts that TPI excavated from the famous Sandy Site deposit.
Behavior is difficult to show in most extinct animals, let alone ones found in such partial condition. Fossil footprints show Dromaeosaurus likely hunted in packs, using their powerful "killing claws" to eviscerate their prey, including dinosaurs that were larger than them. This specimen is also available in an in situ panel mount, perfect for the basis of a children's dig box or a wall mounted display.
