Robert probably doesn't know about the Troodons hidden in Jurassic Park like Most of the Ingen Employees

It Came From The Wastebasket #05: The Trouble With Troodon

Troodontids were small bird-like theropod dinosaurs, lightly built with slender legs and sickle-shaped "raptor" claws on the second toes of their feet. They had fairly big brains proportional to their body size, rather like modern birds, and their large forward-facing eyes had good depth perception. Owl-like asymmetrical ears in some species gave them a very keen sense of hearing, suggesting they may have been nocturnal hunters using sound to pinpoint the location of small prey.

The original specimen of the namesake of the group, Troodon formosus, was a serrated tooth discovered in the 1850s, about 77 million years old and originating from the Late Cretaceous Judith River Formation fossil beds in Montana, USA. It was so little to work with that it was initially mistaken for a lizard tooth, then during the 20th century it was recognized as belonging to a dinosaur and spent time classified as a megalosaurid, then a pachycephalosaur, then finally as a small theropod similar to the Mongolian Saurornithoides.

In the late 1980s it was merged together with multiple other troodontids (including Stenonychosaurus of speculative "dinosauroid" fame), and since Troodon had been the first of all of them to be named it took priority as the genus name.

And then for a while every single Late Cretaceous troodontid specimen from North America was also lumped into Troodon, turning it into a wastebasket taxon.

The problem was that all these troodontids came from locations separated by thousands of kilometers and millions of years of time, and it's unlikely that they all actually represented just one single species. But they were only known from rare fragmentary remains, making distinguishing them from each other difficult, and the original Troodon tooth didn't really have any distinctive features either – it turns out most troodontid teeth all look exactly the same!

It was becmoning increasingly dubious whether Troodon was even a valid name at all, and during the 2010s several paleontologists began trying to sort the mess out. The old names Pectinodon and Stenonychosaurus were revived, and some 'Troodon' fossils were also split off and given completely new names, becoming Albertavenator and Latenivenatrix*.

* Although Latenivenatrix might not actually be distinct enough from Stenonychosaurus to justify having a separate name.

As of 2022, Troodon itself is now in a sort of taxonomic limbo, with some paleontologists abandoning it as a dubious name while others are still arguing in favor of continuing to use it. The name could potentially be properly rescued if the original tooth can be clearly linked to better fossil material, letting Troodon take over priority again from one of the other better-established troodontids, or by defining a new type species similar to what happened with Iguanodon.

…But with how incredibly generic that tooth is, both of those options would be very difficult.

Pectinodon

Pectinodon — рід троодонтових динозаврів-тероподів, відомий з кінця маастрихтського віку пізньої крейди (66 млн.р.т.). В даний час він містить єдиний дійсний вид, Pectinodon bakkeri (іноді класифікується як Troodon bakkeri), відомий лише за зубами.

A dinosaur tooth of the troodontid tooth taxon Pectinodon bakkeri from the Hell Creek Formation in Meade County, South Dakota, United States. Unlike the similar cf. Troodon sp., the denticles of Pectinodon do not hook upwards. The serrations of Pectinodon have been described as being comb-like. The word “pecten” which makes up part of this dinosaur’s name means “comb” with the name of the genus meaning “comb tooth”.

Troodon Pectinodon

See more on my Patreon: Mischief.Art.101 Here, I bring to you my favourite pseudo-dinosaur from the Jurassic Park franchise. The Troodon Pectinidon from Jurassic Park: The Game, which is a Telltale semi-canon sequel to the first Jurassic Park film. The story centres around Dr Harding and his daughter who meet a merc sent to retrieve the Barbasol canister in which Dennys Nedry attempt to smuggle dinosaur embryos out of the park. Naturally, things go wrong - as they do - and they have to team up with a behavioural scientist and a couple of guns-for-hire sent by InGen to retrieve the survivors. Along the way, they encounter a strange dinosaur meant to have been euthanized. The dinosaur in question was the Troodon Pectinidon, a relatively small carnivorous dinosaur whose venom could prove lethal and cause hallucinations along the way. The nature of the Troodon makes them the most terrifying dinosaur in the park, so frightening even the notorious Velociraptor avoids them. The way the dinosaur is portrayed in the game, although highly inaccurate, is among the best attempts at making dinosaurs truly horror-worthy that I have ever seen. The ever-looming threat of the approximately dog-sized theropod puts it on the same level of fear inducer as the Xenomorph from the ALIEN franchise, or the Indoraptor from the newer and somewhat controversial instalment in the Jurassic franchise; Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - a movie that I personally enjoyed because of the horror aspects and similarity between the Indoraptor and the Troodon in what danger they pose. I made a couple of different versions, all are slightly darker and more grotesque than what the actual in-game model is portrayed, but I believe it still captures the essence of the game dino

Even though the Singing People are the only Troodontids from the Two Medicine formation, we do know from other formations such as the Dinosaur Park formation that they did sometimes cross paths with other Troodontids such as Pectinodon and the much larger Latenivenatrix. How would they interact if they ever came into contact in the Herdworld?

Pectinodon (yet another case of "this entire species is based on the fossil of a single tooth" oh hi there, Troodon) is wrong time. It's from Maastrichtian (the very last time period within the Cretaceous) while the dinosaur project thingy is Campanian (the time period before Maastrichtian), so there's near ten million years between them.

Latenivenatrix are a thing though! They are the mysterious norsemen to the Singing People. Big people, twice the size of the Singing ones, from far north. The People generally avoid them if they can, and they usually stick to their own lands, but there is some tension. Meeting with the norsemen can go anywhere between pillaging raids (usually performed by the bigger people) to mutual trading, and sometimes the different people do even have parties together, depending entirely on the individual clans making contact.

Speaking in very generalizing terms, the cow people tend to have more positive interactions with them than groundwalker clans, but that isn't a definite.

There's also a high chance of miscommunication, as the two peoples don't share languages, and their vocal ranges are slightly different. The norsemen don't even usually know wing speak, which to the Singing People is just bizarre, as that's the only language that spans pretty much all of Singing People, regardless of their spoken languages or dialects.

Ever see the Magic School Bus Episode: The Busasaurus? I'm making an updated version & need advice on what creatures to use? I'll keep the setting of 67 MYA, somewhere in North America (maybe South Dakota?). For Parasaurolophus, could I replace it with either Saurolophus, Hypacrosaurus, Augustynolophus, a hypothetical American species of Charonosaurus or a hypothetical Maastrichtian species of Parasaurolophus? There's also Geosternbergia & Troodon, what creatures can I substitute them with?

So far, no crested hadrosaurs have been found in the same ecosystem as Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and the rest of the well-known end-Maastrichtian fauna of western North America. However, if you feel that you must include one, probably the one that would require the fewest assumptions to transplant into that setting would be Augustynolophus, as it both lived at the same time and was located relatively close by (at least compared to the Asian Charonosaurus).

Pteranodontids are also unknown from that fauna, though there are azhdarchid remains from the right time and place if you don’t mind using one. End-Cretaceous pteranodontids are known from Africa, and being seagoing fliers you probably could justify placing them elsewhere if you really wanted to, but I don’t particularly recommend it.

Troodon is easier to deal with. There are troodontid fossils from the right fauna, and they are currently assigned to the genus Pectinodon.

[alphynix]

Can you do some pics for troodontids that formerly classified as Troodon? (Pectinodon, Albertavenator, Stenonychosaurus and Latenivenatrix...)

Oh yeah, Troodon’s back to being a dubious/invalid name now, isn’t it?

I might do at least one of those ones sometime.
