Gobivenator
''Gobivenator'' is an extinct genus of troodontid theropod dinosaur known from the late Campanian Djadokhta Formation of central Gobi Desert, Mongolia. It contains a single species, ''Gobivenator mongoliensis''. ''G. mongoliensis'' is known from a single individual, which represents the most complete specimen of a Late Cretaceous troodontid currently known.
==Discovery==
''Gobivenator'' was first described and named by Takanobu Tsuihiji, Rinchen Barsbold, Mahito Watabe, Khishigjav Tsogtbaatar, Tsogtbaatar Chinzorig, Yoshito Fujiyama and Shigeru Suzuki in 2014 and the type species is ''Gobivenator mongoliensis''. The generic name is derived from the name of the Gobi Desert, where the holotype was found, and ''venator'' meaning "hunter" in Latin. The specific name refers to its occurrence in Mongolia, as the Latin suffix ''-ensis'' means "from".〔
''Gobivenator'' is known solely from the holotype MPC-D 100/86, a nearly complete and articulated skeleton including the skull, housed at the Mongolian Paleontological Center at Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The skull of MPC-D 100/86 is mostly undistorted and well preserved, lacking only the tip of the snout, while the rest of the skeleton is missing only middle cervical vertebrae, forelimb bones located lower than the elbow joints, some hindlimb bones, and most gastralia. It was discovered by a Japanese-Mongolian expedition, and represents the most complete specimen of a Late Cretaceous troodontid presently known. It was collected from the Dzamin Khond locality of the Djadokhta Formation in the central Gobi Desert, dating to the late Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, approximately 72 million years ago.〔
