Abstract: Theropod dinosaurs: going south Deinonychosaurs, the theropod dinosaur group most closely related to birds, are known mostly from fossils from North America and Asia. A new example, from Patagonia, is the first to be found in the Southern Hemisphere, part of the Gondwana supercontinent in the Late Cretaceous. Its similarity to the northern forms suggests that there was less divergence between the southern and northern land masses than was thought.
