Dinosaur of the day Saurornithoides, a troodontid from Mongolia named in 1924 by Osborn in the same paper as Velociraptor.

In dinosaur news this week:

Paleontologists reviewed what it means to have a dome-head and to headbutt like a pachycephalosaurid (and other prehistoric animals)
Mississippi has a new most complete dinosaur, but the species is still a mystery
Histology can tell us if a fossil belonged to a dinosaur or another type of animals
