		Perhaps the Protoceratops was able to deal the predator a death blow with its parrot-like beak before succumbing itself.
		The members of Ornithomimidae closely resembled modern ostriches and emus.
		Such ornithomimids as Dromiceiomimus are thought to be among the most intelligent of the dinosaurs, at least as intelligent as the modern birds they resemble.

	ornithomimosauria
		At Ornithomimidae, the members of this group tend to run together in form, making it difficult to distinguish species and genera in some cases.
		It is probable they were at least omnivorous in diet; the hand structure of the advanced members makes a decent hook, which could have been used for pulling down tree branches; recent findings of impressions of soft material in the beak of Gallimimus have suggested structures similar to those of ducks, indicating a filtering function.
		Ironically, the founding member of the entire Ornithomimidae is also one of its least understood members, due to sparse remains.

		Named by Marsh in 1890, the family Ornithomimidae was originally classified as a group of "megalosaurs" (a "wastebasket taxon" containing any medium to large sized theropod dinosaurs), but as more theropod diversity was uncovered, their true relationships to other theropods started to resolve, and they were moved to the Coelurosauria.
		The contents of Ornithomimidae and Ornithomimosauria varied from author to author as cladistic definitions began to appear for the groups in the 1990s.
		Paul Sereno, for example, used Ornithomimidae to include all of Ornithomimosauria in 1998, and subsequently switched to a more exlusive definition that nested Ornithomimidae (advanced ornthimomimes) within the larger stem-group Ornithomimosauria, a classification scheme that is mirrored by most other literature in the early 2000s.

		Ornithomimidae was first defined by Sereno (1998) as a stem-based clade to circumscribe all commonly known genera, from Pelecanimimis to Ornithomimus.
		Earlier, Barsbold (1976) proposed a redundant taxon, Ornithomimosauria, to recognise the anatomical distinctiveness of the group, and eventually the name was adopted by most workers for the clade, with Ornithomimidae as one of three included families (Osmólska 1997).
		Sereno (1998:65) defined Ornithomimidae as a stem-based taxon to include all of the genera, but mistakenly listed the therizinosaurid Erlikosaurus as an external specifier rather than an alvarezsaurid or suite of external specifiers.

		And in deed, their fossils are often found in limnic or coastal sediments.
		One of best evidence for herbivore Ornithomimidae is the position of their external nares.

	Ornithomimid Dinosaur Tracks from Beit Zeit, West of Jerusalem, Palestine
		It appears that the trackmaker belongs to one of the families of the group Coelurosauria, specially the Coeluridae and Ornithomimidae of which the first seems to fit the tracks more closely.
		Struthiomimus ("Ostrich-mimic") was a long-legged, ostrich-like dinosaur of the family Ornithomimidae, which lived in Alberta, Canada during the Late Cretaceous period, about 85 to 80 million years ago.
		Structure and function of the pectoral girdle and forelimb of Struthiomimus altus (Theropoda: Ornithomimidae).

	Re: pelicanomimus
		I treat Maniraptorea as a taxon that may, or may not, include all of the descendents of the latest common ancestor of its members.
		What I was trying to get at was that if Pelecanimimus is closer to Ornithomimidae than Harpymimus is, then there are three valid alternatives, unless one is a cladist: 1) place both Harpymimus and Pelecanimimus in Ornithomimosauria 2) place both in the paraphyletic stem group, whatever one wishes to call it.
		Given the structure of the hand of > Harpymimus (which retains a primitively short mc I), it would appear that > the hand of Pelecanimimus is either convergent with Ornithomimidae, or that > Harpymimus represents an outgroup to the Ornithomimidae-Pelecanimimus > clade.

		De Ornithomimidae was een groep van opvallende theropoden die nogal op struisvogels leken.
		Aan de vrij lange armen zat een drievingerige hand met klauwen; de achterpoten waren lang en sterk gebouwd.
		Ornithomimidae zijn vooral bekend van het Boven-Krijt van Noord-Amerika en Azië.

		Gauthier (1986:35) proposed the initial definition for Maniraptora, a stem-based definition that used Ornithomimidae as an external specifier.
		This was not widely recognized because the definition was located in the conclusions of work rather than the discussion under the taxon.
		All coelurosaurs that are closer to birds than they are to Ornithomimidae.

	Re: Generic and specific variation (incomplete)
		I do not know of any other study made of all the Ornithomimidae, except for Paul's, which did not include Anserimimus or Pelecanimimus.
		So I count his as an authoritive study, as well as the info I can get from Mike Keesey's website, a great collection of clades for myself, and one that has helped me in the past.
		The monophylletic approach for the Ornithomimidae is thus: Ornithomimidae

		The Tetanurae were a more advanced group, and included Carnosauria (such as Allosaurus) and the Coelurosauria.
		This group contained the Tyrannosauridae, the Ornithomimidae and the Mairaptora.
		Procompsognathus may have been one of the earliest ceratosaurs.

		The Ornithomimidae (meaning "bird mimics") were a group of dinosaurs that were a lot like ostriches.
		They were fast-miving theropods that had long legs, small heads, light bodies, large eyes and brains, and toothless beaks.
		The Ornithomimidae included Ornithomimus, Gallimimus, Struthiomimus, Dromiceiomimus, and Elaphrosaurus.

	Nanotyrannus; Gigadispute
		In your scenario, however, this character would have had to develop convergently in Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurinae, because the nasals are smooth in all shanshanosaurines in which the nasals are at least partially known (Shanshanosaurus, Alectrosaurus, Stygivenator).
		I think the nasal rugosity was lost in shanshanosaurs, because the primitive tyrannosaur Alioramus has EXTREMELY rugose nasals and because nasal rugosity is even found in the ornithomimidae, the closest outgroup to tyrannosaurs in my scheme.
		The "Nanotyrannus" skull is definitely crushed and distorted, and is probably a baby T.
