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. [13]
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 ...
Evidence for this comes from a lizard skeleton preserved in the body cavity of Oviraptor and two baby Troodontid skulls found in a Citipati nest. Evidence in favor of a herbivorous diet includes the presence of gastroliths preserved with Caudipteryx. There are also arguments for the inclusion of mollusks in their diet.
Gigantoraptor (lit. ' giant thief ') is a genus of large oviraptorosaur dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. It is known from the Iren Dabasu Formation of Inner Mongolia, where the first remains were found in 2005.
They considered this specimen to be most similar and closely related to Oviraptor than to the other oviraptorids known at that time. [10] Despite being discovered in 1995, the specimen IGM 100/1004 remained partially figured and largely undescribed for years until its formal referral to the taxon Citipati osmolskae in 2018 by Norell and team.
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.
Skull of referred specimen IGM 100/973. According to a 2014 study published in Nature, Khaan was possibly sexually dimorphic.Two specimens, the holotype MPC-D 100/1127 and referred specimen MPC-D 100/1002, were analyzed, the dimorphic feature being in the anterior chevrons.
