Could Jurassic Park ever really happen? How much of what you saw in Jurassic Park can be considered real? Discuss all of that and more here...

Are there any large dromaeosaurid fragments from Europe, regardless of whether or not they can be called Utahraptor?

The referred specimen of Deltadromeus was a Tyrannosaurus-sized individual, with a femur over four feet long.

I'm just curious, or correct me if I'm wrong, but can we really say Megaraptor is a raptor? I mean, didn't they find just a few bones, couldn't the sickle claw be someting like that of a Baryonx?

Well, I haven't be updating myself with Megaraptor, but last I remember, their wasn't enough sufficient evidence to even prove it was a raptor...hopefully somebody can clear this up for me.

We know now that the "foot claw" actually belonged on the hand and that it likely wasn't related to dromaeosaurs at all. I know that's going to break a lot of young hearts...
