In contrast, eggs associated with Oviraptor are only up to 14 cm long. [ 10 ] The first oviraptorid eggs (of the genus Oviraptor , which mean "Egg thief") were found in close proximity to the remains of the ceratopsian dinosaur Protoceratops and it was assumed that the oviraptorids were preying upon the eggs of the ceratopsians.

Oviraptor (/ ˈ oʊ v ɪ r æ p t ər /; lit. ' egg thief ') is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. The first remains were collected from the Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia in 1923 during a paleontological expedition led by Roy Chapman Andrews, and in the following year the genus and type species Oviraptor philoceratops were named by Henry ...
Originally these animals were thought to be egg raiders, based on a Mongolian find showing Oviraptor on top of a nest. Recent studies have shown that the animal was actually on top of its own nest. Recent studies have shown that the animal was actually on top of its own nest.

Heyuannia ("from Heyuan") is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous epoch, in what is now China and Mongolia.It was the first oviraptorid found in China; most others were found in neighbouring Mongolia.
Life restoration. Rinchenia was a small-sized oviraptorid, estimated at 1.7 m (5.6 ft) and a body mass of about 25 kg (55 lb). [6] Several features of its skeleton, especially in the skull, show it to be distinct from Oviraptor.
Artist's impression. Khaan did not differ much from other oviraptorids. At first, its remains were assigned to "Ingenia", but the Khaan manual structure, lacking the expansion of the upper third metacarpal, was considered to differ sufficiently from that of "Ingenia" for it to be assigned to its own genus.
