Corythoraptor

Corythoraptor jacobsi

Back to the non-avian dinosaurs! Although, it seems ratites like cassowaries & ostriches may have stolen this guy's homework? Hmmm! This father is defending his chick from another Corythoraptor, who was just minding their buisness. Big macho man of a dad.

Qianzhousaurus sinensis attacks Corythoraptor jacobsi.

The remains of Qianzhousaurus, including a skull and partial postcranial skeleton, were discovered in layers of the Nanxiong Formation during construction work. The animal was nicknamed "Pinocchio Rex" due to its long snout. It is related to Alioramus, known from the remains of juveniles of two species. However, the remains of Qianzhousaurus belonged to a more mature animal. It was larger and had thicker teeth, but retained the elongated proportions of the skull and a gracile build. This suggests that Alioramus and Qianzhousaurus hunted small, agile prey. Numerous oviraptorids have been found in the Nanxiong Formation, including the Corythoraptor depicted here, with its distinctive high crest on its head. They could easily have been prey for "Pinocchio Rex."

Dinovember Day 4: "Gigantoraptor"

For this dinosaur, i inspired it's colors of the #cassowary , since it's one of the largest non flying birds currently, and also very dangerous.

A fossilized dinosaur egg from an Elongatoolithus sp., likely an oviraptorid from the Nanxiong Formation, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. These types of eggs are often associated with oviraptorosaurs with some eggs containing embryos as well as adult animals buried with their nests. Fossilized theropod and other dinosaur eggs from China used to be commonly available in the past at fossil shows until additional restrictions or bans were placed on eggs. There are a large number of oviraptorid genera found in the Nanxiong Formation during the end Maastrichtian such as Banji, Corythoraptor, Ganzhousaurus, Huanansaurus, Jiangxisaurus, Nankangia, Shixinggia, Tongtianlong, and likely more to come. This makes it difficult, if not impossible to say which specific taxa it belongs to. The egg is roughly about give or take, 14cm long, 6.6cm wide, and 4.2cm thick. The thickness of the eggshells are about 0.7mm. Given how damaged the specimen is, the measurements are likely not perfect; however, it likely belongs to one of the smaller species.

Out of sight, out of mind is very real. Sorry to forget about you, Tumblr. Enjoy a dino.
