This dinosaur restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.

Reason: Missing arm feathers, as are known from its group.

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of WikiProject Dinosaurs on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.

Summary

Description
English: Restoration of Pelecanimimus, an Early Cretaceous ornithomimosauri (Dinosauria, Theropoda, Coelurosauria) found in Spain.[1] The restoration is an updated version of a previous (inaccurate) one that I uploaded in 2009, as is the skull drawing (which is based on the holotype fossil and skeletal restorations.[2] The absence of feathers on the forelimbs is based on reports that the Pelecanimimus specimen LH 7777 preserve scales on them,[3] though the Late Cretaceous relative Ornithomimus seems to have possessed feathered forelimbs.[4]
