Microvenator (meaning "small hunter") is a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Cloverly Formation in what is now south central Montana. Microvenator was an oviraptorosaurian theropod. The holotype fossil is an incomplete skeleton, most likely a juvenile with a length of 1.3 m (4.3 ft),[1] and consequently, the adult size remains uncertain.[2] Microvenator celer is primitive and may be the "sister taxon to all other oviraptorosaurs."[3][4]
