Apparently Weishampel 2004 lists O. philoceratops remains from Inner Mongolia. Does it say which specimens these are? I was under the impression Oviraptor is considered to be known only from the holotype, referred specimens having been re-assigned and any other not re-assigned yet, are still assigned in error. If we can pin down a specimen number for the Chinese specimen we can figure out if that's the case for this one too. It's odd that Theropod Database doesn't list any Djadochtan oviraptorids from China at all. I wonder if the "Djadochta" in China has been re-assigned to a new formation since Weishampel?

Actually, after a quick search it looks like Weishampel is almost certainly lumping the Bayan Mandahu Formation of Inner Mongolia in with the Djadochta. We should at least try to be consistent! Dinoguy2 (talk) 21:08, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

A quick glance at the index shows Weishampel and the gang didn't create a distinct distribution entry for Bayan Mandahu Formation so you may be right. Also, when the BMF was mentioned in the various sections on individual dinosaur clades it was always described as containing genera listed as Djadochtan in the Distribution chapter, so it seems likely they did indeed treat the formations as synonymous. A quick glance at the references though shows that the strata in question were considered Djadochtan as far back as 1993. A 1989 paper by Dong et al. is the oldest cited reference in Weishampel et al, but it's title is unhelpful. A brief google search shows that the authors considered the BMF and Djadochta to be probably synonymous even back then. I'm not sure I feel comfortable merging the pages until we can get a source saying something more explicit instead of WP:ORing here, though. Especially if there are multiple "BMF" outcrops out there, they might not all be synonymous with the Djadochta. Abyssal (talk) 23:19, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I apologize if this seems obtuse, but the lead notes a lack of clouds in the Gobi desert, yet the top photograph shows a good supply of them. Maybe you can make a less definitive statement, such as 'tends to restrict clouds', if that is the case. Verne Equinox (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
