Dromaeosaur bones question

Recommended Posts

I am doing some research on dromaeosaur bones, and I only found limited data and pictures on the web.

 

I am particularly looking for caudal vertebrae and ribs pictures and structures.

 

So I make an attempt towards TFF members knowledge and data ! :fingerscrossed:

Not much published on North American specimens since little has been found and published.  Hopefully we will soon see a publication on the postcranial elements of Saurornitholestes from the ROM.   I can only point you to Asian material where skeletons have been found.  Not the best papers or most complete specimens but may help.

A new dromaeosaurid from the Late Cretaceous 
Khulsan locality of Mongolia
ALAN H. TURNER,1 SHAENA MONTANARI,2 AND MARK A. NORELL3

thank you Troodon, I didnt know these papers.

These fossils are amazing, mainly the limbs !

 

However as you say we dont see much details, it is missing a bone by bone study.

The last paper shows caudals but doubt you will find much detail info on the bones you are looking for.    Dromaeosaur bones  just are super rare.

The new Saurornitholestes skeleton is at UA, not the ROM, although David Evans is involved in the descriptive work.
