Daliansaurus liaoningensis is a ~1m troodontid unique among Paraves due to having two elongated sickle-like claws instead of one, at 2nd and 4th pedal digits ("similar" to Balaur bondoc, which has them at 1st and 2nd pedal digits).

It's and the start of pride month, so wanted to doodle something real quick before I have to run today. Design inspired by the rad troodontid in

This is a restoration from an artist called Xiphactinus and a few years ago, he made a restoration of an Anserimimus fighting back against a Troodontid with a Tarbosaurus watching from the background. Just shows how the most overlooked dinosaurs can be unpredictable.

Some five-year-old for troodontids meet Tusoteuthis. Fossil coleoids are famously difficult to reconstruct (all soft-tissue, virtually no skeleton), so it's sometimes best to bundle them up on a beach where no-one can tell what they're meant to look like.

Rebecca Gelernter has represented amazing hypothesys following current knowledge about feathered cretaceous paravians. Among her troodontids, the Anchiornis huxleyi is my favorite depiction of this species. Also excellent feathers in her current birds!

Irene C. Ribot has really stunning illustrations, amazing details with 0.03 ink markers, nice games of ligth and textures, a variated record... (and of course, troodontids🤘🏼)

Wish someday I can watch her exhibited works at Girona when pandemy allows it.

Day 4 of my dino challenge: troodontid, and I went with Gobivenator.
What happened to this family? I dunno. You decide.

Royal gryphon. My take on gryphons borrows a lot from dromaeosaurs and troodontids.

we use lasers to vaporize small amounts of enamel from fossil teeth (like this troodontid allowing the released gases to be analyzed for their chemical composition?

This can reveal info about the diet, habitat, and physiology of extinct animals.

Meet Hesperornithoides, a Jurassic Troodontid from the Morrison Formation! Congratulations to and all other authors. I was lucky enough to be commissioned to reconstruct it! Read the paper here: https://t.co/KUyUd9y6cf

With the Mesozoic narrowly in the lead, here are a couple Late Cretaceous troodontids that I drew in colored pencil around Fall 2017: Gobivenator & Saurornithoides.

This furtive little creature is Nodontoraptor australis, a descendant of derived Dwelling in the subtropical open forests of Late Eocene Texas, Nodontoraptor was named for one surprising anatomical feature: a completely toothless beak!
