Ornithomimus

Ornithomimus (pronounced /ˌɔrnɨθɵˈmaɪməs/ meaning 'bird mimic') is a genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now North America. Ornithomimus velox was named on the basis of a foot and partial hand from the Maastrichtian Denver Formation, but better material has since been found in Canada, including the Edmontonian-age Ornithomimus edmontonicus and an excellent articulated specimen (species unknown) from Dinosaur Provincial Park. Other specimens assigned to Ornithomimus have been discovered on the Eastern Coast of the USA.
