Yup. _Alvarezsaurus_ itself, for one. _Patagonykus_, for another.
<<Were there any ornithomimes there?>>
Nope. And _Alvarezsaurus_ looks very different from _Mononykus_ and _Shuvuuia_
(though _A._ is maddeningly incomplete). The foot of _A._ looks *much* more
like that of a dromaeosaur or early bird than it looks like the foot of an
ornithomimid.
