The story in short
In 2010, A. Ősi and colleagues published the name Pneumatoraptor.
It lived in the Late Cretaceous (Santonian), roughly 85.7 to 83.6 million years ago. Finds come from Hungary, including the Csehbánya Formation. It was a carnivore and walked on two legs.
The fossils of Pneumatoraptor are too incomplete for a responsible length, hip height, or weight, so those fields are left blank on purpose.
On the family tree it sits in Paraves, among the theropod dinosaurs.
