Project: Deinonychus antirrhopus - The Terrible claw
Deinonychus was a medium-sized predatory theropod dinosaur. It was a larger relative of the famous Velociraptor. This 3.4 meter (11 ft) long dinosaur lived during the Lower Cretaceous, about 115-108 million years ago. Fossils have been recovered from the U.S. states of Montana, Wyoming, and Oklahoma. Deinonychus has been described as the single most important discovery of dinosaur paleontology in the mid 20th century.
So this project is all about him! :)
