External morphology

Stiff fibrous integument. Wide lateral sides. Size 21.7 mm x 23.9 mm.

Discovered by field researcher M. Daniel in Chicago, Illinois. Paniraptor vafra was found clutched to a bag of toasted croissants in a Whole Foods market. P. vafra has many of the same markings and characteristics as Redivivus imitator. For this reason occlupanologists should be on watch to check the spread of this potentially invasive occlupanopsid.
