Dino Fact:
Tongtianlong (Tongtianyan Dragon) is an Oviraptorid from Late Cretaceous China. The holotype was found by construction workers... as they were blowing the land up to build a new high school. Based on rocks around it, it likely died stuck in mud.

Dino Fact:
Chirostenotes (Narrow Handed) is an oviraptorid from Late Cretaceous Canada. It's had an odd history, with its feet being misidentified as a new ornithomimid and named Macrophalangia and its beak mistaken for a bird's and named Caenagnathus.

Dino Fact:
Incisivosaurus (Incisor Lizard) is an oviraptorid from Early Cretaceous China! It's an odd-looking dinosaur, most noticeably its large upper front teeth. It showed that, even though later oviraptors were toothless, they had toothed ancestors.

Today for my warmup I HAD to sketch Tlatolophus, the newly described lambeosaurine hadrosaur described yesterday. Late Cretaceous (Campanian) of North America (Mexico) #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs
Dino Fact:
Nomingia is an Oviraptorid from Late Cretaceous Mongolia. Its tail vertebrae were fused into a pygostyle like birds. It's where tail flight feathers are attached in birds. For Nomingia, it'd be for a fan of feathers to display to others of its kind.

Mother's Day Dino Fact!
Oviraptor (Egg Thief) is an Oviraptorid from Late Cretaceous Mongolia. It was named this since one was found near a "Protoceratops nest". Turns out it was really an Oviraptor nest and the Oviraptor was just a mother protecting her eggs.

I love the signature feature of the Ankylosaurus; its body armor.
