As you may know, theropod bones are hollow, so it would be amazing to find a theropod without hollow bones. However, the seemingly solid bones may in fact just be an artifact of the chalklike preservation. Paleontologists at Berkeley are currently working to solve the mystery of our Segisaurus.

; THEROPOD; Theropods (meaning "beast-footed") were a suborder of Saurischian dinosaurs. They were fast-moving, bipedal carnivores (meat-eaters) with grasping hands and clawed digits. They ranged in size from tiny (e.g., the chicken-sized Compsognathus) to huge (Giganotosaurus was over 50 feet tall).

Here we report on an exceptionally well-preserved small theropod specimen collected from the earliest Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of western Liaoning, China2. The specimen is referable to the Troodontidae, which are among the theropods most closely related to birds.

We know all about tyrannosaurs and raptors, but those two families comprised only a small percentage of the bipedal, carnivorous dinosaurs known as theropods. Here's a look at the larger theropods of the Mesozoic Era, including allosaurs and abelisaurs, as well as profiles of representative theropod genuses. ... By Bob Strauss,
