Other dinosaurs introduced in the book include Protoceratops, Ankylosaurus, Allosaurus,
Oviraptor and Ornitolestes.
He assumed the eggs belonged to Protoceratops but later analysis would show that the finds were the spawn of a small previously unknown predator called
Oviraptor ("Egg Thief."), discovered by Roy's tech George Olson.
The boy, Charlie Edwards, visited the museum with his family and pointed out that the sign for the
Oviraptor exhibit was mislabeled, showing another dinosaur instead.
Charlie Edwards, who has Asperger's, realised a silhouette image labelled as an
oviraptor, a small carnivore with a beak, was in fact the sheep-sized herbivore protoceratops.

OviraptorIn the microstructure of eggshells, researchers have found evidence of the direct transition between nonbird dinosaurs and birds: primitive theropod dinosaurs have a single layer of calcite;
oviraptor dinosaurs, which are more birdlike, have two layers; and troodontid dinosaurs, which are even closer to birds on the evolutionary tree, have three layers, the same number of layers seen in eggs laid by modern birds.
El diseno de los objetos 3D del parque de los dinosaurios (figura 4) se baso en historietas ficticias que definieron los diez escenarios del laboratorio del profesor Einstesauirio, el habitat del
oviraptor, la caverna del laberinto nivel 1, la caverna del laberinto nivel 2, el habitat del thalassomedon haningtoni, entre otros, que permitieron el desarrollo de actividades de lateralidad y espacialidad mediante la interaccion de los personajes (avatares).
A 2009 study in the journal Science suggested that it was males of the small, carnivorous dinosaurs Troodon and
Oviraptor that incubated their eggs.
Other stars of the show are animatronic models of the Protoceratops,
Oviraptor, Velociraptor, Gallimimus, Camarasaurus and the earliest living bird, Archaeopteryx, as well as fossils of pterosaurs, pliosaurs and ammonites.
The Florida dealer was also accused of illegally importing from Mongolia a second, nearly complete Tyrannosaurus batr skeleton, two Saurolophus skeletons and two
Oviraptor skeletons.
Bell said the government will also get to keep a Chinese flying dinosaur that Prokopi illegally imported; a skeleton of a Saurolophus, a duckbilled, plant eating dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period; and two
Oviraptor skeletons, one found at Prokopi's home and the other at another residential dwelling in Florida.
Yes, we may be talking about a Tarbosaurus,
Oviraptor, Protoceratops, Velociraptor, Gallimimus and Camarasaurus - but let's, instead, say hello (and please don't get too close) to Zeek, Albert, Nel, Shirley, Sid and (everyone's favourite, it seems) Toby.
