Garudimimus
''Garudimimus'' ("Garuda mimic") is a basal ornithomimosaurian theropod dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia.
==Discovery and naming==
In 1981, during a Soviet-Mongolian expedition to the Gobi Desert, a theropod skeleton was discovered at Baishin Tsav in Ömnögovi Province. The same year this specimen was named and described by Rinchen Barsbold as the type species ''Garudimimus brevipes''. The generic name combines a reference to the ''Garuda'', winged creatures from Mongolian Buddhist mythology, with a Latin ''mimus'', "mimic". The specific name is derived from Latin ''brevis'', "short", and ''pes'', "foot", referring to the short metatarsus.
The holotype specimen, GIN 100/13, was uncovered in sediments of the Upper Cretaceous Bayan Shireh Formation the stratification of which is uncertain; its possible age ranges from the Cenomanian to the Campanian. It consists of a rather complete and articulated skeleton including the skull but lacking the shoulder girdle, forelimbs and tail end, of a subadult individual. The specimen is today usually seen as the only fossil known of ''Garudimimus'', though Philip J. Currie once claimed that part of the ''Archaeornithomimus'' material belonged to ''Garudimimus''. The skeleton was for the first time described in detail in works by Yoshitsugu Kobayashi from 2004〔Kobayashi, Y., 2004, ''Asian ornithomimosaurs''. PhD Thesis, Southern Methodist University. 340 pp〕 and 2005.〔
