Hexing

Hexing is an extinct genus of basal ornithomimosaurian dinosaur known from the Early Cretaceous of northeastern China. It contains a single species, Hexing qingyi.

==Discovery and naming== In the early twenty-first century, a local farmer at Xiaobeigou in Liaoning discovered the skeleton of a small theropod. He prepared the fossil himself, trying to enhance its value by restoring damaged bones and adding fake parts. Eventually the specimen was obtained by the Geological Museum of Jilin University and more expertly prepared, during which process the added parts were again removed.
