Rativates

Rativates is a genus of ornithomimid theropod dinosaur from the Campanian-aged (Late Cretaceous) Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada. The type species is Rativates evadens.

==Discovery and naming== In 1934, Levi Sternberg discovered the skeleton of a small ornithomimid at Quarry N° 028 near the Red Deer River in the area of the present Dinosaur Provincial Park in Canada. In 1950, he considered it a specimen of Struthiomimus. In 1972, Dale Alan Russell formally referred this specimen to Struthiomimus altus; he partly based his reconstruction of S. altus on the skull of the specimen. The remainder of the skeleton was not described until 2016.
