Description: Life reconstruction of the Alaskan saurornitholestine in its environment. Artistic restoration by scientific illustrator Andrey Atuchin depicts a riparian setting in the Prince Creek Formation, matching the geological evidence described in this paper. DMNH 21183 comes from the juvenile dromaeosaurid on the branch close to the adult, while a subadult (foreground) stalks an individual of Unnuakomys hutchisoni, a methatherian known from this locality. Individuals of the sympatric ceratopsid Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum rest in the background.
