		One Protoceratops, a herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaur, perished in the struggle with a carnivorous theropod, Velociraptor.
		Protoceratops might have been defending its nest from the predator, or the two creatures might have encountered accidentally, but all we can do is build speculations and guesses about them.
		Protoceratops is known from multiple specimens with skulls spanning a significant size range from hatchling to adult, with all stages in between (you can see those at American Museum of Natural History, New York).

		Sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History, the Central Asiatic Expeditions of the 1920s were led by Roy Chapman Andrews.
		The eggs were found associated with over 70 specimens of Protoceratops and it was thus assumed that this creature laid them.
		In 1995 discoveries of Oviraptor embryos within the eggs proved that the eggs in fact belong to Oviraptor philoceratops ("the egg stealer with a love of ceratops eggs") - another dinosaur discovered on the same expedition and which for 50 years has been accused of stealing the eggs rather than laying them.

	Dino World - Oviraptor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Found in southern Mongolia, Oviraptor received its name, "Egg Thief," from the fact that it was found atop a clutch of eggs that were believed to be those of Protoceratops.
		With the discovery of an egg with an Oviraptor embryo in it, the eggs attributed to Protoceratops belong to Oviraptor.
		The first discoveries of this animal showed an association with eggs that were mistakenly considered to be those of the small horned dinosaur Protoceratops, hence the meaning of the full name for Oviraptor is "predator that loves to eat the eggs of horned dinosaurs".

		Potato-shaped eggs, found in the 1920's by Roy Chapman Andrews, were attributed to Protoceratops because of the great abundance of Protoceratops bones throughout the same formation.
		The unusual theropod Oviraptor was discovered adjacent to a clutch of these eggs and it was presumed that it was trying to steal and eat the eggs.
		The recent discovery of an egg, identical to the eggs attributed to Protoceratops, with an Oviraptor embryo, indicates that these eggs belonged to Oviraptor.

		Fossil bones of this six to nine foot long dinosaur were discovered in Mongolia's Gobi desert in the 1920s, along with numerous nests of fossil eggs.
		These were recently found to belong to a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur called Oviraptor, and not to Protoceratops, as originally thought.
		Protoceratops belonged to the Ceratopsidae, an extensive group of horned dinosaurs, with expanded head frills, parrot-type beaks and teeth designed for slicing up tough, fibrous plants.

		That Is why I proposed that the Velociraptor wasn't feeding at all it was hanging on for dear life while in a powerfull sediment flow.
		If the scavenging happened after both creatures were dead it seems a little odd that Protoceratops attracted all the attention while the Velociraptor is undisturbed.

		The Protoceratops was one of the most primitive species of dinosaur.
		The Protoceratops' large head was partially encircled by a bony frill which protected its vulnerable neck area from a predator's deadly attack, but this dinosaur lacked the sharp horns which gave its Triceratops descendents their fierce and combative appearance.
		The Protoceratops was one of the Dinosaur Era's first species and one of science's most fertile sources for paleontologic research.

		Protoceratops, a presumed 'harmless' ceratopsian herbivore with a powerful beak is bringing down the maniraptoran theropod, sickle clawed Velociraptor.
		Protoceratops sported an enormous frilled head compared to body size and a typical ceratopsian powerful beak.
		The frill had large fontanelles (or holes) covered in tough skin and was more for display than for defence; it varied in size, shape and adornments depending on sex and age.

		Velociraptor was a fierce carnivore that hunted prey animals, such as the plant-eating Protoceratops.
		Here, the Velociraptor has embedded its deadly foot claw into the neck of the crouching Protoceratops, near the region that housed the blood supply for the head.
		In turn, the Protoceratops appears to have bitten and broken the right arm of the Velociraptor, whose left hand grips the head of the Protoceratops.

		This is because the teeth in the front of the upper jaw found in the later Protoceratops are already absent in the extant fossils of Psittacosaurus.
