Using microwear analysis (scratches in the tooth surface) and finite element analysis (tissue density-based estimates of the strength of various parts of bone and tooth), this paper offers some insight into how you tear apart an animal if you're a theropod. Possibly relevant to those making paleo-art:

It's funny that there still using the term Troodontids even though they got rid of Troodon.

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD
