Dinosaur Revolution is a four-part American nature documentary produced by Creative Differences. [1] [2] ... An examination of the adaptations of Gigantoraptor;
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, and a ponderous weight ...
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 feathers.
Macroelongatoolithus is an oogenus of large theropod dinosaur eggs, representing the eggs of giant caenagnathid oviraptorosaurs. They are known from Asia and from North America. Historically, several oospecies have been assigned to Macroelongatoolithus, however they are all now considered to be a single oospecies: M. carlylensis.
In addition, a giant caenagnathid similar to Gigantoraptor is now known from the Bayan Shireh Formation at the locality of Tsagan Teg. [5] Like the coeval Bayan Shireh Formation (and possibly Javkhlant Formation ) in the Gobi Desert , the dinosaur fauna of the Iren Dabasu Formation includes tyrannosauroids , ornithomimids , therizinosaurs and ...
The closest is the Dinosaur Genera List, compiled by biological nomenclature expert George Olshevsky, which was first published online in 1995 and was regularly updated until June 2021. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The most authoritative general source in the field is the second (2004) edition of The Dinosauria .
May have been closely related to Gigantoraptor despite its significantly smaller size [8] Anserimimus: 1988 Nemegt Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) Mongolia: Had powerful forelimbs with uniquely straight, flattened claws Aorun: 2013 Shishugou Formation, (Late Jurassic, Oxfordian) China: Potentially a basal member of the alvarezsaurian ...
Size comparison of Hagryphus. As the specific name indicates, Hagryphus giganteus was a particularly large oviraptorosaur, estimated by the describers to have been approximately three meters (10 ft) long, which makes it one of the largest members of the clade Oviraptorosauria (Barsbold, 1976), apart from the later described Gigantoraptor.
