Bambiraptor feinbergorum Naming persons... Burnham, Derstler, Currie, Bakker, Zhou & Ostrom�^�Q�O�O�O �iEumaniraptora�j�^Dromaeosauridae 1m�@long/Late Cretaceous/Montana Bambiraptor was a juvenile coelurosaur, an advanced theropod (meat-eating dinosaur). This small predator was originally thought to be a juvenile Velociraptor or perhaps Saurornitholestes langstoni. It was a small, fast, meat-eating dromaeosaurid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period. Bambiraptor was about 3 feet (1 m) long and may have weighed about 7 pounds (3 kg). It had a deadly, sickle-shaped toe claw on the second toe of its foot. Bambiraptor was found in the upper Two Medicine Formation, Montana, USA. The nearly complete, fossilized skeleton was found in a dinosaur bonebed, near a Maiasaura skull. �@
