Over 200 specimens

accounting for as many as 95% of the total individuals in some fossil beds

The hands of Conchoraptor were a major reason that scientists decided to split it off from Oviraptor

Brain size and complexity can then be determined

Machairodus giganteus, saber-toothed cat Dilophosaurus where examples were first foundMachairodus is a genus of large machairodontine saber toothed cats that lived in Africa, China, Eurasia and North America during the late Miocene 4. 5 to 5 million years ago. It is the animal from which the subfamily Machairodontinae gets its name and has since become a wastebasket taxon over the years as many genera of saber tooth cat have been and are still occasionally lumped into it. In general Machairodus was similar in size to a modern lion or
