New Oviraptor?



 

 

 
Yanornis
The English translation of the Chinese Science Bulletin
Yanornis article is out and the abstract and caption in
English can be seen at:

My translations turn out to be a bit clunky, but thanks in
good part to help from Michael Turton , appear to have
been accurate on major points.

"Mandarin Duck" oviraptorid
Photos of a new specimen of an oviraptorid (if  I'm not
mistaken) can be seen at:

Yep, that’s an Oviraptor, you can see a dentary. The foot is intresting, digit 1 (yea, the whole digit) has the claw low and facing the foot, opposite from the other feet (at least that’s the way it looks).
