The only
known specimen of 'Thecocoelurus' is the anterior part of
a cervical vertebra, which is projected to have been 90mm in length.
This specimen shares features with oviraptorosaurs and therizinosaurs,
but has no defining features of its own, but is more similar to
oviraptorosaurs as therizinosauroids have more robust neural spines
and slit-shaped pneumatic foramina, whereas oviraptorosaurs have
rounded foramina. .
Material
is rare, so please report it if you find some...
