Dromaeosauroides bornholmensis

†Dromaeosauroides bornholmensis is a dromaeosaurid theropod from the Early Cretaceous Jydegaard Formation of Bornholm Island, Denmark. Known from isolated teeth, it represents the only confirmed dromaeosaurid from Scandinavia. Its European occurrence contributes to understanding the geographic range of dromaeosaurids before and after Laurasian land connection changes in the Early Cretaceous.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Dromaeosauroides bornholmensis was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Dromaeosauroides bornholmensis lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145,0 to 100,5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
