Note:
Estimates based on apical-basal lengths of both mesial and distal denticles were calculated, and used to find body length for each taxon. Specimens where denticles were lacking are indicated with ‘na’. Because troodontid denticles are abnormally large compared to other theropods of comparable size (D’Amore & Blumenschine, 2012) these length estimates are not used, as indicated by an asterisk (*).
