I’d like to see some basal ornithomimosaur content! Like Hexing or Pelecanimimus. Thanks! :)
Coming right up!

I realized too late that I may have made this a wee bit lopsided. I formally apologize for putting all Alvarezsaurs in one and all Therizinosaurs in another. They deserve to be split up like Ornithomimosaurs and Tyrannosaurs are and I apologize :(
I'd be pissed I have to do another non-avian theropod bracket, but let's face it, dromaeosaurs against tyrannosaurs would have been a mistake

#Archovember Day 30 - Concavenator corcovatus
From the early Cretaceous of Spain comes the bizarrely crested carcharodontosaurid Concavenator corcovatus. Concavenator had two small, narrow “shark fins” on its back which possibly supported a hump. Like most sails and crests, the function of these structures is unknown. It could have been for thermal regulation or display, or both.
Concavenator has been the subject of much debate concerning its integument. Similar to Velociraptor, Concavenator had structures resembling quill knobs on its ulna. These could have been anchor points for quills similar to those seen in ornithischians like Tianyulong and Psittacosaurus, as complex wing feathers had not appeared in the fossil record yet, and especially not in allosauroids. However, if these quills are related to feathers, it would be evidence of true feathers appearing in dinosaurs other than the coelurosaurs. Complicating things are the impressions of scales found on various parts of Concavenator’s body, though none from its arms. There is some skepticism that these structures are not even quill knobs, but instead merely tendon attachments. As of now, there is not really a consensus on whether Concavenator was feathered, quilled, or fully scaled, and we can only hope for further evidence.
In the Las Hoyas site of the La Huérguina Formation, Concavenator would have lived alongside an array of crocodylomorphs, amphibians, and enantiornithine birds, the ornithomimosaur Pelecanimimus, the iguanodontian Mantellisaurus, the tapejarid pterosaur Europejara, and mammals such as Spinolestes.

alright, NOW Tooth Sockets then we can complete these gums
then it´s over to the Tounge and Limbs,
then we can blockout Rego later today and maybe, get a DragoGen Script Done or maybe even drawing one of the Dinosaurs, Like that Stork dinosaur.
this Stork Like dinosaur is an animal stems from pelecanimimus.

Pelecanimimus did such a power move. Not only does it has teeth unlike most toothless Ornithomimosaurs, it also apparently decided to have more teeth than any other theropod. "Oh cousin struthi you dont have teeth? Wah wah I have two hundred and two of them"

Dinovember Day 17: Bumblin’ Babies
A couple of baby Pelecanimimus inspired by excited baby emus. They hop around like little bipedal puppies when they get work up and it’s as great as it is potentially applicable to any dinosaurs.
Also why is Pelecanimimus’ name based on a pelican when they aren’t spelled the same way? It’s stupid.
