Beyond the game
The real Fukuiraptor
It was a medium-sized theropod from the megaraptor group. Its fossils from the Kitadani Formation help researchers study early members of that lineage and their relationships.
The quarry contained remains of several individuals, including teeth and arm and leg bones. Together they provide complementary clues, as long as researchers keep track of which pieces belong to the same animal.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
