Description Known only from a single caudal vertebra, Teinurosaurus lived in what is now Portugal and France (conflicting sources). This tail vertebra was once thought to be from a new species of Iguanodon, then from a dinosaur Caudocoelus. The only reference I could use is a book from the 80s, which the appearance of Teinurosaurus was also a guess; shown as a scaled up version of Coelurus chasing an Archaeopteryx. And while this single source isn't really proper enough, I estimated its size at 13ft, around Tanycolagreus-sized, and from the same family as well. On The Paleo Handbook, I wrote a profile on Tanycolagreus, picturing it as a partially arboreal leopard-like carnivore, and I put Teinurosaurus as the same analogue, seen here with a fresh kill of Alocodon. Throat pouch and fancy feathers included for attracting mates.

I like how you depicted these little known dinosaurs with feathers. Will you also do Taveirosaurus and Tecovasaurus?
