I didn't realise Ornithomimosaurs were considered so dull. Sure they don't have any horns or fancy armour, but they can run away at speed. They're the toothless cowards of the dinosaur world. Are people not into that? ;D
I'd question how much material they could gather from the site in part of 1 day. Being a cautious optimist, I figured maybe they got a few broken ribs or vertebrae, but hoped for something more revalatory. In some respects it might be better to live with the mystery. What most interests me at this point is were the arms disproportionately large?
I signed into my old account on Dinoforum to check out what Keesey had to say, ... it looks like he's talking about a different find altogether.

I'd love some, let me know if you find more  I think all we know is pretty much all we're gonna get till a paper comes out, or maybe an SVP presentation/abstract on it next year. But I'll keep my eyes peeled. Oh, but based on discussions, it looks like the Phil Currie team that found the original quarry didn't find much more of the skeleton, possibly just some scraps. The big news is all about the new specimen. I don't know when that was found or by whom, so all bets are off about how long it will take to get solid news on it. |

Really interesting...Let's hope that something will come out VERY soon about this findings |

More exciting than a big ornithomimosaur? wtf is that supposed to mean? These coelurosaurs ARE the most advanced, parallel to tyrannosaurids. These dinosaurs are among the last, and most beautiful (albeit hard to illustrate imho).
If it's not an ornithomimosaur, I'm gonna be disappointed. I mean, wtf could it be, then? Another blasted bird?

Another blasted bird? The various books I have state its either a large ornithomimosaur, or an animal that arms were much larger in proportion to its body. |

Another blasted bird? Just a random guess: Maybe by 'more' he means an incredibly weird giant ornithomimosaur. Like, with a highly modified body plan. You wouldn't necessarily expect one that big to closely resemble a 6-ft Struthiomimus. Could be the giant slothosaur hypothesis wasn't far off, and it's some kind of bizarre therizinosaur-mimic. Or maybe the original description of Therizinosaurus was right all along and it's a giant bipedal superpredatory Archelon-like turtle with arms that resemble ornithomimosaurs due to convergence ;D |
