KurzfassungIsolierte Zähne theropoder Dinosaurier aus dem Oberen Jura der Kohlengrube Guimarota (bei Leiria, Portugal) werden beschrieben und abgebildet. Die häufigsten Zahnfunde ähneln morphologisch den Bezahnungen der oberjurassischen TheropodenArchaeopteryx undCompsognathus. Ein Morphotyp deutet auf das Vorhandensein eines Allosauriden hin. Sechs weitere Morphotypen von Theropoden-Zähnen zeigen große Ähnlichkeiten mit kreidezeitlichen Formen, wie Dromaeosauriden, Troodontiden…

The identification of theropod teeth has the potential of refining stratigraphic determinations, extending temporal and geographic ranges, indicating relationships, and allowing paleoecological statements to be made on the relative diversity or abundance of certain taxa.

A critical examination of all jaws and teeth attributed to Troodon, Stenonychosaurus, and Pectinodon concluded that Troodon is the senior synonym of these genera, and that the name Troodontidae has priority over Saurornithoididae.

Features of the dentition suggest that L. estesi belonged within the troodontid dinosaur-bird clade and, less certainly, within the Avialae (Archaeopteryx plus all later birds) and may be the earliest avialan.
