Oviraptor Facts & Pictures: Complete Guide To A Cretaceous Period Dinosaur
Oviraptor was a small theropod dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. Discovered in the Gobi Desert around a century ago, Oviraptor was given the name “egg thief”, as it was found alongside some fossilized eggs. The dinosaur is now believed to have been brooding the eggs, rather than stealing them.
As well as its probable nesting behavior, Oviraptor had other bird-like features such as a toothless beak and a covering of feathers.

Huayangosaurus Facts & Pictures: Discover An Early Relative Of Stegosaurus
Huayangosaurus was a mid-sized stegosaurid dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic period.

Compsognathus Facts & Pictures, A Small Jurassic Predatory Dinosaur
Compsognathus, a small but fascinating dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period, has captivated dinosaur enthusiasts since its discovery in the mid-19th century.
Compsognathus is primarily known for its small size; for many years it was the smallest-known dinosaur, and is often compared to a modern chicken in size (smaller dinosaurs, such as Microraptor and Parvicursor have subsequently been discovered).
All that is known about Compsognathus comes from two well-preserved fossils, one of which was found in the Solnhofen limestone of Germany; the other in the Portland limestone of France.
