Extinct genus of dinosaurs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyroraptor (meaning "fire thief") is a dinosaur genus belonging to the dromaeosaurid family or possibly the unenlagiid family, from the Late Cretaceous Ibero-Armorican island, of what is now southern France and northern Spain. It lived during the late Campanian and early Maastrichtian stages, approximately 70.6 million years ago. It is known from a single partial specimen that was found in Provence in 1992, after a forest fire. The animal was named Pyroraptor olympius by Allain and Taquet in 2000, and has been considered to be a potentially dubious species. Despite its poor fossil remains, it has been featured in popular media such as Jurassic World Dominion.
