I love how when Gigantoraptor was first announced, everyone I knew was like "OMG THEY FOUND A RAPTOR BIGGER THAN UTAHRAPTOR!!!"

I mean, they were right, but it's not quite the "Raptor" they were thinking of. Was a pretty annoying day.

For some reason, when I looked at this picture, I envisioned some sort of documentary with David Attenborough narrating, saying "...and when presented with the dominant predator of the ecosystem, the beach-comping Spinosaur promptly shat itself, and bid a hasty retreat."

It's by Luis Rey, I think I plucked it form his website some time ago.
>> Nagi
>>107073

That's Luis V. Rey? It looks a lot different from his other works, especially considering he tends to depict his dromaeosaurs more like disgusting turkey monsters than as lean, graceful birdlike animals.
>> Anonymous
>>107339
Yes, I'm absolutely positive it's his. As I got it from his website: http://www.luisrey.ndtilda.co.uk/html/holtz07.htm

I have to say I hate most of his maniraptorans too, but he's been doing some pretty nice looking small dromies after the discovery of Microraptor and Sinornithosaurus.

Sauce? Sounds like too much _Raptor Red_. I wasn't aware of evidence for _Acrocanthosaurus_ in the Cedar Mountain Fm. or _Utahraptor_ from anywhere else.
>>107339
I don't see why some larger dromaeosaurids wouldn't resemble "flightless turkey monsters", actually.

I'll post some fresh Srnka in the other thread.

Aren't troodontids classified as dromaeosaurs now? Or was it deinonychosaurs? Can't remember for sure.

>>107488
All those monstrous wattles don't make much sense on an active predator.
>> Anonymous

Troodontids are deinonychosaurs, they're a sister group to the "sinornithosaur"-dromaeosaurid clade, offhand. I haven't paid much attention to papers on theropods lately, so I'll haphazardly point to:
Hwang et al. (2002): http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/2870
Norell et al. (2006): http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/5823
Turner et al. (2007): http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/5845

Or any of their other numerous publications in the past seven years. TWG's matrices may not be the absolute best in the field, but they are among the best that have been published so far.

Phil Senter's work is comparable, and I know at least in his latest publication, he also recovered troodontids within the Deinonychosauria.

Even still Deinonychosauria != Dromaeosauridae. Effectively, troodontids are the sistergroup to almost all other deinonychosaurs, and dromaeosaurids are nested inside somewhere in the rest of that mess.

By the way, if you didn't know, this:
http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/

is a great resource in general, the AMNH's workers did a fantastic job in scanning and preparing hundreds, no no no, thousands of old publications, and then providing them all for free? I'm touched.

Also regarding the "monstrous wattles", sure, Rey's work highly exaggerates, but it's not totally inconceivable. I guess it chalks up to how conservative one wants to be or not.

Great, thanks. I wasn't aware of that resource. I remember the paper about the Thermopolis Archaeopteryx placed troodontids as sisters of dromaeosaurs, but that cladogram was weird anyhow.
