Incisivosaurus gauthieri

A newly discovered small therapod dinosaur whose peg-like teeth hint towards a plant eating life style.

Incisivosaurus is the oldest known member of the Oviraptorosauria. The teeth are peg shaped like that found in many Sauropods, the two front upper teeth are elongated and somewhat incisor-like ( hence the name ) and may have been used in a gnawing fashion much like rodent incisors. the lower jaw tip probably held a sharp beak, used in concert with the upper front teeth it must have been a very effective tool for doing whatever it was that Incisivosaurus was doing. The skull and a single cervical ( neck) vertebrae are all that is so far known of Incisivosaurus so I limited my reconstruction accordingly.
