I went to the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland Park with a friend today. I could have spent a lot more time, if we hadn’t left dogs at home in crates. I was pleased that allowed photography inside, even with a flash in most areas. I loved this restoration, which looks more like modern art than a fossile.

What was it? A hadrosaur?

According to the Center's website, it is a type of unusually (for North America) large oviraptor that hasn't yet been formally described. It is a couple of screens down on the following page.

I like the conchoraptor too. The oviraptor does look like a piece of artwork.
