For #FossilFriday (and to coincide with the 10th anniversary of @MuseumofNature's VMMB re-opening), here's the holotype foot of the ornithomimid #dinosaur Struthiomimus altus from the CMN collections, alongside images from Lambe's 1902 description of the specimen.
The foot bones of Moros were extremely slender, with metatarsal proportions more similar to ornithomimids than to other Late Cretaceous tyrannosauroids.
o shit i forgot about this but therizinosaur based loosely on the saurian ornithomimids and also bactrian camels
this is old but ornithomimid because dinosaurs are cool and great
#MyFirstSpecies was the newly announced #Arkansaurus fridayi, an ornithomimid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Arkansas, announced earlier this month in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology https://t.co/AHckK4dGuq
