''Conchoraptor'' (meaning "conch plunderer") is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous Period of what is now Asia. ==Description==
''Conchoraptor'' was a small dinosaur, only 1–2 meters (3.3-6.6 feet) in length.〔 Unlike many other oviraptorids, ''Conchoraptor'' lacked a head crest.〔 Like its relatives, it lacked teeth. Instead of teeth, oviraptorids had powerful beaks, possibly adapted to crushing mollusk shells.〔 The skull of ''Conchoraptor'' was heavily pneumatised, with most of the bones hollow.〔Kundrat, M. 2007, "Avian-like attributes of a virtual brain model of the oviraptorid theropod ''Conchoraptor gracilis''", ''Naturwissenschaften'' 94: 499-504〕 Internal connections between both ears functioned as resonance chambers and improved hearing.〔Kundrat M. and Janacek, J., 2007, "Cranial pneumatization and auditory perceptions of the oviraptorid dinosaur ''Conchoraptor gracilis'' (Theropoda, Maniraptora) from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia", ''Naturwissenschaften 94:769–778〕
