Gigantoraptor size (holotype) compared to a 1.8-metre-tall (5.9 ft) human. Gigantoraptor is the largest known oviraptorosaur for which skeletal material is available. . Approximately three times as long and 35 times heavier than the largest earlier-discovered oviraptorosaur Citipati, the holotype of Gigantoraptor has been estimated at 8 m (26 ft) long with a height of 3.5 m (11 ft) at the hips ...

Citipati ([ˈtʃiːt̪ɪpət̪i]; meaning "funeral pyre lord") is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 75 million to 71 million years ago. It is mainly known from the Ukhaa Tolgod locality at the Djadochta Formation, where the first remains were collected during the 1990s.
Megaraptora is a clade of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs with controversial relationships to other tetanuran theropods. Its derived members, the Megaraptoridae are noted for their large hand claws and powerfully-built forelimbs, which are usually reduced in size in other large theropods. Megaraptorans are incompletely known, and no complete ...
Megaraptor was initially described as a giant 8 metres (26 ft) long coelurosaur, known primarily from a single claw (about 30 cm long) that resembled the sickle-shaped foot claw of dromaeosaurids. [2] The discovery of a complete front limb, however, showed that this giant claw actually came from the first finger of the hand.
Caenagnathidae. Caenagnathidae is a family of derived caenagnathoid dinosaurs from the Cretaceous of North America and Asia. They are a member of the Oviraptorosauria, and relatives of the Oviraptoridae. [2] Like other oviraptorosaurs, caenagnathids had specialized beaks, [3] long necks, [4] and short tails, [5] and would have been covered in ...
They are distinct for their characteristically short, beaked, parrot-like skulls, with or without bony crests atop the head. They ranged in size from Caudipteryx, which was the size of a turkey, to the 8-meter-long, 1.4-ton Gigantoraptor. [2] The group (along with all maniraptoran dinosaurs) is close to the ancestry of birds.
Beibeilong. Beibeilong ( Chinese: 贝贝龙, transl. baby dragon) is a genus of large caenagnathid dinosaurs that lived in China during the Late Cretaceous epoch, about 96 million to 88 million years ago. The genus contains a single species, Beibeilong sinensis. The species was named and described in 2017 through analysis of an embryonic ...
