Austroraptor — size comparison — facts and sources
Austroraptor was a large Late Cretaceous Patagonian dromaeosaurid with an elongated snout and relatively short forelimbs. Tooth anatomy and relationships provide ecological clues, but fish consumption is an interpretation rather than direct observation.
Fossils discovered in the Allen Formation were described in the early twenty-first century. The species name honours Héctor Cabaza, associated with the Lamarque museum. The find helped investigate the history of southern dromaeosaur relatives.
