Is Troodon Valid?

[Daataataa]

What if the real troodon was the friends we made along the way?

[GatorBoyDilopho]

Even if the single dinosaur isn’t valid, it’s close relatives are very magnificent therapod dinosaurs

[agente]

Imagine starting a whole new family of dinosaurs only to be classified as invalid decades later.

[RazorRex]

Troodon: What? Why wasn’t I told?

Pectinodon: The last thing they want is a power struggle with entrenched management.

Stenonychosaurus: The deal is off if you come with it. The board expects your resignation in thirty days.

Troodon: Oh, you can't do this to me... I started this genus! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED!!!???

[PaleoGuy]

Troodon: becomes valid
Me: ALL ABOARD

[PaleoAnalysis]

See people hear this and they like to jump into comments sections and call foul any time someone is ever talking about any of the other Troodontids like Latenivenatrix.

*Troodon formosus is not currently a valid genus but Troodontids are still a valid family.*

I remember when I was a kid I learnt about troodon in a dinosaur book, It was declared as the "Smartest Dinosaur" I was so intrigued by it and wanted to learn so much

One of my favourite small theropods. I hope more remains get discovered in the future.

[Koolasookis]

This used to be my favorite dinosaur when I was younger

[andresdeleon]

Troodon is one of my favorite dinosaurs

[SWyrick]

The one thing about Troodon that set it apart from every other dinosaur: IT WAS THE SMARTEST DINOSAUR TO EVER LIVE.

[rosalinadeanda-zdnn]

Amazing, I find it so intresting how in Paleontology, the debates are amazing, each side makes a point. I personally think Troodon is invalid since a tooth can't really decide if a genus and species is valid since its not enough information. There are times when a tooth can be used to determine a genus and species.

[noahcreutziger]

I wish it were valid. Troodon is my boi, my favourite theropod and favourite overall dinosaur

[STARSCREAM_]

Troodon looks devious in the first image

[joekane]

Troodon will always be valid in my heart

Troodon Was Smart Dinosaur Ever Discovered In The World
