Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. E. Novas et al. 2008 | Orkoraptor burkei is a large theropod differing from other tetanurans in the following combination of characters: teeth with unserrated and transversely wide mesial margins; teeth with a median depression flanked by two longitudinal and narrow furrows on the lingual surface (autapomorphy); postorbital with a wide jugal process, and an orbital margin that is obtuse and devoid of a suborbital flange; quadratojugal with a short jugal process; proximal caudal vertebrae with small pleurocoels (convergently aquired with Megaraptor, Carcharodontosauridae, and Oviraptorosauria). |
