John H. Ostrom's expeditions to the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming and
Montana in the 1960s resulted in discoveries and research that
would change long-held concepts in paleontology. This
fiftieth-anniversary edition of his now well-known description of
the type specimen of Deinonychus antirrhopus revisits the work that
redefined theropod dinosaurs as the intelligent, agile, and
gregarious ancestors of modern birds and led in the late twentieth
century to a renaissance in the study of dinosaurs and the
evolution of flight. Distributed for the Yale Peabody Museum of
