Description

New cranial material from referred specimens suggests a more abbreviated, "typically oviraptorosaurian" skull for this transitional taxon. 

Skull based on Tsuihiji et al. (2017) for skeletal elements and Paul (2016) for general form Jaime Headden for reconstruction. Rest of body by Jaime Headden. Human by Andrew Farke.

UPDATE: I am now using Jaime Headden's fantastic skull reconstruction, which has a more pronounced, basal oviraptorosaur-ish snout.

UPDATE 2: This is NOT A. portentosus, it is a new species A. nemegtensis! Funston et al. (2017) describe it, and also have a new reconstruction of the skull, which will be incorporated... eventually...
