The Cryptoraptor

Cryptoraptor

Cryptoraptor is the informal name (but one of my personal favorites) for some fossils that were discovered in Quay County , New Mexico . So far only one of these dinosaurs has been discovered and it was only a partial discovery. The only remains that were found were the vertebrae, parts of the thigh bones, and a pubis. Believed to have lived during the late Triassic area, it would have been a meat eater and feasted on may other dinosaurs and animals. Not much is known about this species however it was discovered by Adrian Hunt who originally wanted to name this dinosaur the Cryptoraptor Lockleyi but it didn't stick. This was one of the later discovered dinosaurs and has only been recognized recently by scientists.
