Summary

Description
English: Skeletal diagram featuring the known elements and size of the holotype of the giant dromaeosaurids Dakotaraptor steini. The holotype PBMNH.P.10.113.T, consists of:

Right pedal ungual II, right pedal ungual III, right femur, left and right tibia, left astragalus and calcaneum, left metatarsal II and IV, right metatarsal IV, isolated fragmentary dorsal centrum, 10 caudal vertebrae, left and right humerus, left and right radius, left and right ulna, right metacarpal I and II, three fragmentary left manual phalanges. The tooth depicted here belongs to specimens PBMNH.P.10.119.T and PBMNH.P.10.121.T, which are estimated to have come from an adult individual too.[1]

The relationships of Dakotaraptor within the Dromaeosauridae are complex; most cladograms exclude Dakotaraptor, however, in the original description it was placed between the Dromaeosaurinae, which contains heavy-built animals such as Achillobator and Utahraptor, despite the relatively slender anatomy of this animal.[1] Surprinsingly enough, in the latest phylogenetic analysis, Dakotaraptor was placed in the Unenlagiinae, being the sister taxon to Unenlagia.[2]

In the original description, three furculae were associated to the genus, specimens NCSM 13170, KUVP 152429 and the one from the holotype PBMNH P.10.113.T. These furculae were revised, and they turned out to be from a entoplastron belonging to a trionychid turtle. Therefore, the proposed furcula for the hypodigm of Dakotaraptor should be excluded, the same goes for the referred specimens.[3]

Español: Diagrama esquelético mostrando los elementos conocidos del gigante dromaeosaurido Dakotaraptor. Es conocido por el holotipo PBMNH.P.10.113.T, consistiendo de:

Unguales pedales derechos II y III, fémur derecho, tibia derecha e izquierda, astrágalo y calcáneo izquierdo, metatarsianos izquierdos II y IV, metatarsiano derecho IV, centrum dorsal fragmentado aislado, 10 vertebras caudales, humero derecho e izquierdo, radio derecho e izquierdo, ulna derecha e izquierda, metacarpianos derechos I y II, 3 falanges manuales izquierdos fragmentados. Los dientes representados aquí pertenecen a los especímenes PBMNH.P.10.119.T y PBMNH.P.10.121.T, los cuales están estimados de haber provenido de un individuo adulto también. Las relaciones de Dakotaraptor entre la Dromaeosauridae son complejas; muchos cladogramas excluyen a Dakotaraptor, sin embargo, en la descripción original fue clasificado entre la Dromaeosaurinae, la cual contiene animales de constitución robusta tales como Achillobator y Utahraptor, a pesar de la relativamente delgada anatomía de este animal. Sorpresivamente, en el ultimo análisis filogenetico, Dakotaraptor fue clasificado en la Unenlagiinae, siendo taxón hermano con Unenlagia.

En la descripción original, tres furculas fueron asignadas al genero, especímenes NCSM 13170, KUVP 152429 y la del holotipo PBMNH P.10.113.T. Estas furculas fueron revisadas, y se concluyo que en realidad eran parte del endoplastrón de una tortuga trionychida. Debido a esto, la furcula propuesta para el hipodigma de Dakotaraptor debe ser excluida, lo mismo aplica para los especímenes referidos.
