Dienoycus is a genus of dinosaur. Dienocus is a dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur. There are one known species in this genus: "Deinonychus antirrhopus". Appearance. This dinosaur could be up to 3.4 meters (11 ft) long. It lived during the early Cretaceous Period, about 115–108 million years ago (from the mid-Aptian to early Albian stages). Fossils have been found in the U.S. states of Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, in rocks of the Cloverly Formation, Cedar Mountain Formation, and Antlers Formation. It had a large claw on its foot. History of paleontology. Paleontologist John Ostrom's study of "Deinonychus" in the late 1960s changed the way scientists thought about dinosaurs. It caused the "dinosaur renaissance" and made scientists argue whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded or cold-blooded. Before this, most people thought dinosaurs were big, slow, and looked and acted like modern reptiles. Ostrom told other scientists that "Dienocus" had a small body, sleek, horizontal posture, the same kind of spine that flightless birds have, and the large claws on its feet. All this, said Ostrom, meant "Deinonychus" was probably very fast and caught its food like a predator. Etymology. The name "Deinonychus" means "terrible claw." "Terrible claw" refers to the unusually large, sickle-shaped talon on the second toe of each hindfoot. The fossil YPM 5205 preserves a large, strongly curved ungual. In life, archosaurs have a horny sheath over this bone, which extends the length. Ostrom looked at crocodile and bird claws and reconstructed the claw for YPM 5205 as over 120 millimeters (4.7 in) long. The species name "antirrhopus" means "counterbalance", which refers to Ostrom's idea about the function of the tail. As in other dromaeosaurids, the tail vertebrae have a series
