Description: Harpymimus was a basal ornithomimosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period of what is now Mongolia. Unlike later, more derived ornithomimosaurs,
The holotype specimen (IGM 100/29, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Ulan Bator, Mongolia) consists of an almost complete skeleton, lacking portions of the pectoral girdle, pelvic girles, and hindlimbs. It was recovered at Dundgovi Aimag (Eastern Gobi Province), from an exposure of the Shinekhudug Formation (Shinekhudukskaya Svita; Hauterivian to Barremian). The etymology of Harpymimus involves a reference to the fearsome Harpy of Greek mythology (Greek harpyiai = "Harpies" + Greek mimos = "mimic"). Only a single species is known for this genus, H. oklandnikovi. Other dinosaurs collected from the Shinekhudug Formation at Dundgov include the ceratopsian Psittacosaurus mongoliensis and the ornithopod Altirhinus kurzanovi.

Harpymimus

The holotype specimen (IGM 100/29, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Ulan Bator,
Mongolia) consists of an almost complete skeleton, lacking portions of the
pectoral girdle, pelvic girles, and hindlimbs. It was recovered at Dundgovi
Aimag (Eastern Gobi Province), from an exposure of the Shinekhudug Formation
(Shinekhudukskaya Svita; Hauterivian to Barremian). The etymology of
Harpymimus involves a reference to the fearsome Harpy of Greek mythology
(Greek harpyiai = "Harpies" + Greek mimos = "mimic"). Only a single species is
known for this genus, H. oklandnikovi. Other dinosaurs collected from the
Shinekhudug Formation at Dundgov include the ceratopsian Psittacosaurus
mongoliensis and the ornithopod Altirhinus kurzanovi.
