Dryptosaurus ("tearing lizard") was a theropod dinosaur of the Tyrannosauroidea type.[1] It was found in Upper Cretaceous strata of Eastern North America. It was formerly known as Laelaps.
It was given its name because it had 8-inch (21-cm) long finger claws. Fossils have been found in New Jersey. It is known only from a partial skeleton.
