Troodon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Located in Salt Lake City this is a relatively new museum. If you are in the area stop by its a great museum. I did not have much time so I visited the Dinosaur hall which was outstanding and included many species found in Utah which are early cretaceous. Gryposaurus monumentensis Brachychampsa sp.

Troodon Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) That Dromaeosaurid looks like Julieraptor to me. You are correct it's the replica skeleton of one but they gave it ID of an Dromaesaurid because its not described and some believe it's a Saurornitholestes.

Is it from the same general area? There isn't much known from Saurornitholestes is there? And there was also the debate on Bambiraptor possibly being a juvenile Saurornitholestes. I suppose Julieraptor looks pretty similar to Bambiraptor as well.

Julieraptor is from the Judith River Fm of Montana of which Saurornitholetes is in the fauna. Bambiraptor is a bit west in the Two Medicine formation also occupied by a Saurornitholetes species. So are they juvenile specimens ?? My Tyrrell museum post shows a few Saurornitholetes photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pocock Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Troodon, excellent tour thanks very much. One of my all time favourites id the Hagryphus giganteus (Oviraptorosaur)an that is mainly due to the eye, I think it is fascinating that a creature had such an eye.
