Reconstructed skull of the dromaeosaurid Adasaurus mongoliensis. The holotype IGM 100/20 preserves a partial right side of the skull and other postcrania including the hindlimbs, it has an estimated length of 2 m (6.6 ft) with a weight of 15 kg (33 lb).[1] Skull mainly based on Turner et al. 2012 and Mickey Mortimer.[2][3] Color Key   Known   Unknown

Figure 1: The holotype of the large-bodied, short-armed Liaoning dromaeosaurid Zhenyuanlong suni gen et. sp. nov. (JPM-0008).

A diagram of the dromaeosaurid dinosaur Pyroraptor olympius with selected fossil elements that can be reliably scaled using measurements given by Allain & Taquet (2000) to produce a realistic estimate of the taxon's size and proportions in life. This silhouette is based on the supposition of the missing elements of Pyroraptor's skeleton having fairly generalized dromaeosaurid proportions.
