Info

Genus - Typespecies

Pyroraptor olympius from an ungual phalanx and other foot and limb bones, a couple of vertebrae, and teeth from the Upper Campanian to Lower Maastrichtian of Provence, France. The material is clearly dromaeosaurid. The describers deliberately sinks Variraptor as a nomen dubium and asserts the material is not diagnostic.
