Late Cretaceous Age 

Saurornitholestes, meaning "lizard-bird thief," is a genus of small, carnivorous dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous period, found in Alberta, Montana, and New Mexico. It includes two species: Saurornitholestes langstoni, named in 1978, and Saurornitholestes sullivani, discovered in 2015. This bipedal predator was characterized by a sickle-shaped claw on its foot and shared features with other dromaeosaurids, such as a long, curved, blade-like claw on its second toe. It was longer-legged and more lightly built than Velociraptor and Dromaeosaurus. Its appearance resembles that of Velociraptor, with large, fang-like front teeth, and it is believed to be closely related, though the precise evolutionary relationships within Dromaeosauridae remain somewhat uncertain.
