A new troodontid dinosaur from Cerro del Pueblo Formation, Mexico.
Xenovenator has been described by Rivera-Sylva et al. from rests from remains discovered in the early 2000s.
A distinctive feature of this new dinosaur is its extremely thick skull structure, suggesting the presence of a horny sheath, or something similar, used in intraspecific combat.
