Ornitholestes

Description
Source: Wikipédia
Ornitholestes (signifiant « voleur d'oiseaux ») est un petit dinosaure théropode du Jurassique tardif (Brushy Basin Member de la Formation de Morrison, Kimméridgien moyen, il y a environ 154 millions d'années) de la Laurasie occidentale (la région qui devait devenir l'Amérique du Nord).
Ornitholestes n'est connu que d'un seul squelette partiel avec un crâne très écrasé trouvé à la carrière Bone Cabin près de Medicine Bow, Wyoming, en 1900. Il a été décrit par Henry Fairfield Osborn en 1903. Une main incomplète fut plus tard attribuée à Ornitholestes, bien qu'elle semble maintenant appartenir à Tanycolagreus. Le type (et la seule espèce connue) est O. hermanni. Le nom spécifique rend hommage à Adam Hermann, préparateur de l'American Museum of Natural History.
Ornitholestes est souvent représenté avec une corne sur le nez, mais à partir de 2003, la théorie fut abandonnée. Il ne s'agissait que d'un écrasement de fossile, pointant vers le haut.
Malgré cela, elle fut introduite dans le célèbre documentaire Walking With Dinosaurus, de la BBC et devenu une image populaire dans les médias.
