Pencil drawing of Coelurus, a coelurosaurian dinosaur that lived from the Late Jurassic period (North America).

Six exemplar coelurosaurs (clockwise from top left): Tyrannosaurus rex, Sinosauropteryx prima, Deinonychus antirrhopus, Archaeopteryx lithographica, an undescribed crested oviraptorid, and Passer domesticus. This is a collection of six different works which have been previously published on Wikimedia Commons (see source field below).

Illustration of Sinusonasus (Dinosauria, Theropoda, Coelurosauria, Deinonychosauria, Troodontidae). This restoration is an edited and updated version of a drawing I originally uploaded on Wikimedia at December 11th 2009 (which i turn is based on a fossil seen at http://site.sinodino.com/Museum/images/Sinusonasus.JPG.).
