I. Kirkland, D. Burge, R. Gaston (1993). A large dromaeosaur (Theropoda) from the Lower Cretaceous of eastern Utah. Hunteria 2(10): 1–16. (high confidence: PBDB gives this publication for the name; its author and year match the naming authority (Kirkland et al. 1993), on which PBDB and Wikidata agree).\n- Diet, inferred by PBDB for the group: carnivore (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this, and it infers it for the whole of Dromaeosauridae, the group this genus belongs to, not from this genus's own fossils).\n- Way of life, inferred by PBDB for the group: ground dwelling (low confidence: PBDB infers this way of life for the whole of Dromaeosauridae; behaviour is rarely known for one genus).\n- Common names: ユタラプトル, 猶他盜龍 (medium confidence: only Wikidata gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n\nNot known or disputed:\n- Type species: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n- Order: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n\nNot covered by Omnisaura: size, weight, appearance, or behaviour beyond the way of life PBDB infers for the group. Do not fill these in from general knowledge as if they came from Omnisaura.\n\nCredits (must be shown with any of this): Paleobiology Database (CC-BY-4.0); Wikidata (CC0-1.0)."
