A Megaraptor Emerges From Footprint Fossils. A series of foot tracks in southeastern China points to the discovery of a giant velociraptor relative, paleontologists suggest in a new study.

Large fossil footprints unearthed in China have led to the discovery of a "megaraptor" dinosaur, a relative of the velociraptor, a new study suggests.

Finding these megaraptor fossils in the Las China valley is exciting, the researchers say, especially because they haven’t been found here before.

Scientists in Chile’s Patagonia region are unearthing the southernmost dinosaur fossils recorded outside Antarctica, including remains of megaraptors that would have dominated the area’s food ...

Megaraptor discovered in China may have rivaled velociraptors of 'Jurassic Park:' Study An international team of researchers estimated that the fossilized footprints found in China were left by a ...

Fossils, including those of a Megaraptor, were found in the dig. The species existed between 66 to 75 million years ago in the Late-Cretaceous period, shortly before the species was killed off.

Five theropod dinosaur fossils were discovered in two locations in Victoria: the upper Strzelecki Group (121.4-118 million years old) and the Eumeralla Formation (113-108 million years old).

The fossils provide unique insights into an ancient Australian ecosystem dominated by powerful “megaraptor” dinosaurs measuring 6-7 metres in length. Two of the new megaraptor species are the ...

To better understand megaraptor mobility, the researchers created mathematical models drawing on the age and location of fossils, the dinosaur evolutionary tree, and climate information. They also ...

The fossils provide unique insights into an ancient Australian ecosystem dominated by powerful “megaraptor” dinosaurs measuring 6-7 metres in length.

Giant ‘megaraptor’ dinosaur species ... Researchers excavated dinosaur shin bones and vertebrae at two fossil sites in Victoria – the upper Strzelecki Group dated to 121 million years ...
