Dromaeosauroides was a theropod dinosaur that lived around 140 million years ago during the Early

Cretaceous, making it one of the oldest known dromaeosaurs. In 2000 and 2008, two fossilised teeth
from this genus (cast pictured) were discovered in the Jydegaard Formation in the Robbedale valley,
on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, in the Baltic Sea. It is the first dinosaur reported from
Denmark. After these discoveries, remains and tracks of more dinosaurs were found in several
formations on Bornholm. Coprolites containing fish remains found in the Jydegaard Formation may
belong to Dromaeosauroides. The teeth are curved and finely serrated. Based on a comparison with
other dromaeosaur teeth, the genus is estimated to have been 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 ft) in length,
with a weight of about 40 kilograms (88 lb), a hide covered with feathers, and a large sickle claw on
both feet. It lived in a coastal lagoon environment with sauropods, as evidenced by a possible
titanosaur tooth. (Full article...)
