Dinosaur of the day Duriavenator, a medium-sized predator that has historically been lumped in with Megalosaurus.

In dinosaur news this week:

  • A critique of the controversial Allosaurus as a scavenger paper
  • Response by the original authors on why they still think Allosaurus is a scavenger
  • Microraptor had feet like a modern hawk (and what bird feet can tell us about dinosaur behavior)
  • There’s a cool trailer for Talon, about a Dakotaraptor with magical powers
