(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

Name:  Ingenia yanshini
Geologic Age: Late Jurassic
Location: Nemegt Formation, Mongolia
Comments:  Representing a mass-mortality event, these remains of five dinosaurs  include three fairly complete skeletons and parts of two other  individuals. Three complete, well-preserved skulls, and one partial  skull, are seen. Ingenia was a 5-6.5 foot-long, 50-pound oviraptorid  dinosaur that lived in Southern Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous Period, 80 million years ago. It belonged to the suborder Theropoda, and may have competed with its close relative, Oviraptor, for food and  territory. Its diet is uncertain, though it was probably an omnivore,  eating insects, eggs, shelled animals, small animals, roots and seeds,  dead carcasses, and vegetation. It laid a total of 24 eggs per clutch  and may have nurtured its eggs as Oviraptor did. Its name, given in  1981, originates from the name of its discovery site, the  Ingeni-Khobur Depression in Mongolia. Fitted with a steel armature,  this fascinating and desirable piece is suitable for wall hanging.   The overall size of the matrix measures 63 inches x 31 inches.  These specimens represent some of the most complete skeletal remains ever found of this rare therapod!  Sorry about the LOUSY 1st Photo.. this specimen is still in the crate in my warehouse and I'm not about to try and lift it out by myself to dress it up to look pretty!!  TOO HEAVY for me!!!    If additional photos are needed, please let me know...  The Photos DO NOT DO THIS SPECIMEN JUSTICE!!!  I Please contact me for delivery arrangements or if you'd like to inspect it in person....
