(Sometimes I think it's because they had trouble imagining what an animal with a toothless beak might eat, but that could be unfair) I don't remember Struthiomimus dominating in that regard, but then it was a while ago.<br /><br />Here's one of my favourite depictions from back then. It's also got a big lump of rock from outer space, but don't worry, no Aerosmith soundtrack.<br /><br />https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLD8FB674B22CDB22C&v=QNGMkb8UQtQ<br />Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-56867689737779678012016-11-21T18:44:45.708-05:002016-11-21T18:44:45.708-05:00Oh yeah, for a while back in the 70s and 80s, you ...Oh yeah, for a while back in the 70s and 80s, you were just as likely to see Struthiomimus depicted raiding a nest as Oviraptor. (Specifically Struthiomimus, too. It was occasionally another ornithomimid.)Andrew Raymond Stuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143192568248574758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-3462371647537301352016-11-21T17:47:56.240-05:002016-11-21T17:47:56.240-05:00The way he fills out the proportions makes McLough...The way he fills out the proportions makes McLoughlin's work quite distinctive (though Tylosaurus looks a bit undernourished).

Not surprising given how its hands bend. Metacarpals should not do that. Ever.
