Also known as Dryptosaurus aquilunguis, the enigmatic theropod from Late Cretaceous (campanian) New Jersey. "Eagle-clawed tearing lizard", literally.

Its fragmentary remains suggest a moderate sized tyrannosauroid (25 feet) with a relatively gracile build, serrated teeth and small forelimbs with a large manus and huge claws. I depicted it with an albertosaurine-like elongated skull, as it seems pretty plausible. Also tried to gave it sort of an avian look, at least all the avian a tyrannosauroid can get...

That's awesome!

But... I had always thought the tyrannosaurids had two fingers? Or was I mistaken?

Tyrannosaurids, yes, but in the Superfamily that they belong to (Tyrannosauroidea) there are some derived members like this guy that kept 3 large fingers . Actually, T. Rex and its closer tyrannosaurid relatives have 3 fingers but the third one is so atrophied that it was unnoticeable and couldnīt even qualify as a digit.
