Harenadraco prima: The first #troodontid from the Upper #Cretaceous Baruungoyot Formation of #Mongolia
https://novataxa.blogspot.com/2024/07/harenadraco.html

"Among non-avian #dinosaurs, #troodontids are relatively rare but diverse. The #Nemegt Basin in the Mongolian #Gobi Desert, which incorporates three of the most fossiliferous beds in the world, is one such region with high #troodontid diversity and has also produced eight troodontid taxa until now."

A new #avialan #theropod from an emerging #Jurassic terrestrial fauna https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06513-7

"This dinosaur exhibits an unusual set of morphological features that are shared with other early #avialans as well as #troodontid and #dromaeosaurid #dinosaurs."

September: assorted birdy #dromaeosaur and #troodontid sketches. I took some bird pictures and drew dinosaurs based on them. #dinosaur #paleoart #myArt
June: #Troodon playing in a pile of autumn leaves. This one was born from a Prehisroric Planet watch party where I learned angiosperms had already become the dominant plant group by the end of the Cretaceous. #paleoart #troodontid #dinosaur #MyArt
