Description
The enigmatic “Morocco Raptor” (also known as the “North African Raptor”) has remained in the shadows of paleontology for many years now, and has produced very little evidence of its existence with the exception of teeth. In fact, raptors (or Dromaeosaurs as they are scientifically known) have very little presence in Africa at all, with only the diminutive Rahonavis of Madagascar being the only officially named and documented species.
The specimen showed the raptor’s claws embedded in the head and stomach of a Protoceratops. Aside from being the first significant findings of these species, it was also a breakthrough for scientists’ understanding of how dinosaurs lived, offering a clue to how (and if) certain dinosaurs coexisted during the Late Cretaceous period.
