Deltadromeus agilis

Delta runner

Deltadromeus agilis is a slender, long-legged theropod from the Kem Kem Group known from a partial skeleton without a skull; its affinities (ceratosaur or ornithomimosaur relative) remain debated. Kem Kem teeth sold as Deltadromeus are unassignable, since no teeth are associated with the holotype; the name is better restricted to limb bones matching the type.
