The creature has many of the features of the oviraptor, a small two-legged dinosaur that, as a theropod, was distantly related to the Tyrannosaurus rex. Instead of having the carnivore's typically long, sharp teeth, oviraptors had a rounded, parrot-like beak which they used to steal eggs from nests.
This theropod is more properly an ovisuckor.

Yep, it's her spittin image!....Let's see-based on the time line, that would have to be an artist's rendering of her mom....Bless her long departed soul...But as far as feathers, they are wrong. I remember her sporting sharp quills.
To: SteveH
Sounds more like a Piltdown dino.

Put a pair of horn-rimmed glasses on that thing and it would look just like a girl I sat next to in Mrs. Barksdale's 7th grade class at Crowley Junior High School. No kidding deal!!!
Wonder if we're related?

Picture dinos clustered on the power line and burying the car in droppings.Wow ... and I've always been glad that cows don't fly.

"Did her teeth look like this?"Nope. Looked just like the birdlike dino-thingy's did.

Hmm, another theory: possibly it was just a general condition of the population at the time...

The Manticore was believed to have three rows of teeth.
Just what the hell good that was supposed to do is at present unknown.

Betcha it didn't get many offers to intern with the offices of contemporary potentates, if you know what I mean (and I think you do ;-).
