Troodontidae
Abstract
Troodontidae is a clade of small, lightly built maniraptorans known from Cretaceous deposits of Asia and North America. These theropods have serrated teeth, raptorial hands, and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on the foot. This chapter discusses the taxonomy and diagnostic features of troodontids. It also discusses phylogenetic hypotheses of troodontid relationships. Diagnostic remains of troodontids are largely restricted to Central Asia and China, and the origin and most of the evolutionary history of the clade was endemic to that continent. Only a single derived troodontid taxon, Troodon formosus, occurs in North America.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
