Valdoraptor oweni
Era nu dinusauru carnivuru. Havi vissutu 'n Critacìu (Berrasianu e Valanginianu) circa 135 miliuni d'anni fa.
Appartininti ô terapodi. Li sò risti sugnu truvati 'n Nglaterra.
Ntê 1856 Richard Owen, 'n Nglaterra, crassificu û risti cumu Hylaeosaurus; 'nvici ntê 1881 Hulke pinzu a lu classifacari cumu terapodi. Ntê 1889 Richard Lydekker studià li risti pinzandu a ddari â Megalosaurus. Fredrich von Huene, ntê 1923 chiama chista spicìi ccu chistu numi Altispinax, ma era nu dinti. Finarminti ntê 1991 dinuminu li numi 'n Valdoraptor e li numi oweni è 'n unuri a lu primu cca scuprìi li risti fussili.
