Gigantoraptor erlianensis (2007)

Digital painting

The recently described largest known member of the oviraptorids is Gigantoraptor erlianensis, from Mongolia. Although Xu et al. (2007) (Nature 447:844-847), on whose skeletal reconstruction the image is based, did not find direct evidence of feathers associated with the fossils of Gigantoraptor, other members of the group demonstrate such integumentary structures.
