Historical Background[]

Dryptotaur is likely derived from the Dryptosaurus ("tearing lizard"), a genus of primitive tyrannosaur that lived in Eastern North America during the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous period. A famous painting of the genus by Charles R. Knight has made it one of the more widely-known dinosaurs, in spite of its poor fossil record. Its specific name aquilunguis is Latin for "having claws like an eagle's".
