upper Cretaceous, 67 Million years
Found: Hell Creek formation, Montana USA
61 x 54 x 23 cm (with stand)

Chirostenotes was characterized by a toothless beak, long arms ending in slender relatively straight claws and long powerful legs with slender toes. In life, the animal was about 2 meters long.
Chirostenotes was probably an omnivore or herbivore, although the beak is not as heavily constructed as in the Asian Oviraptoridae.

The presented here specimen is of the highest quality, showing only about 2-5% restorations and displaying a beautiful caramel brown patina all over.
