Ceratonykus is a genus of alvareszaurid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. It is known from a fragmentary skeleton, which show that its brain was not as avian as phylogenetic analyses of alvarezsaurids might have suggested, and that there were bony projecting spurs on the wrists.[1]
