Oviraptor Enamel Pin (Oviraptor philoceratops)
Few dinosaurs have suffered from worse PR than Oviraptor. Discovered in Mongolia in 1924 on top of a nest, it was branded a “egg thief” (hence the name). Decades later, scientists realized those eggs were its own, making it less a criminal and more a doting parent unfairly slandered for nearly a century. With its parrot-like beak, feathered body, and flamboyant crest, Oviraptor was a small Cretaceous omnivore that likely cared for its clutch like a prehistoric supernanny. This hard enamel pin captures its proud, crested profile in polished metal and enamel—no apology tour or fossil dig required.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your Oviraptor doesn’t “brood elsewhere”
- Size: 38 x 27mm
- Zero chance of raiding your fridge for eggs
Perfect for dinosaur fans, paleontology buffs, and anyone who loves a redemption arc—especially when it involves feathers and sass.
