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.

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.
This name refers to the two discovered associated individuals. The specific name, bainian , is a Chinese word meaning "a hundred years", commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first named oviraptorosaur taxa, Chirostenotes and Oviraptor, in March 1924 and November 1924, respectively.

Skull of specimen STM22-6. In 2010, two feathered oviraptorosaur specimens were described, both of which preserved feather traces. These specimens (both juveniles, though one closer to maturity than the other) showed that the feathers were similar to the related Caudipteryx, with long (symmetrical) vaned feathers on the hand and tail, and the rest of the body covered in simpler, downy feathers.
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.
