A juvenile Ornithomimus Antiquus ( Dinosauria: Theropoda: Ornithomimosauria), from the Upper Cretaceous Kirtland Formation (De-na-zin Member), San Juan Basin, New Mexico
— Robert M. Sullivan
Abstract:
A tibia of a juvenile theropod, from the Kirtland Formation of the Alamo Wash region, San Juan Basin, New Mexico, bears a distinctive cnemial crest and is identified as Ornithomimus antiquus. The diagnosis of 0. antiquus is expanded to include this feature, but a comprehensive revised diagnosis of this dinosaur is deferred to a more comprehensive study. Ornithomimus velox and 0. edmontonicus are junior subjective synonyms of 0. antiquus as there are no morphological features that distinguish them from one another.
