... They could, but I figured out competition from birds and elphabas would make things harder for non-volant deinonychosaurs to develop wings. Also if there...
... Do the archives not work anymore? Of course, ultimately, you haven't missed anything, because I didn't get around to upload anything. :-( Working on three...

... Yes, but even if we throw out the idea of terrorsaurs, we still need to explain how not only did the neovenators/abelisaurs of Australia die out, but why...
... Welcome back! There's actually something you could do for us right away, since only a poster can modify or delete links. The "in-transit" page - which is...
... Well, it could be real. My understanding is Unenlagia's shoulder girdle shows adaptations for flapping. However, when you combine the possible chimeric...
... The anurognathid idea isn't mine; if it was up to me I'd restrict Spec's Pterosauria to Monofrenestrata, only with an additional lazarus taxa outside of...
... That's not the problem, I would upload naked text. It's just that, what spare time my thesis leaves me, I use up by procrastinating on blogs. I don't ever...

... AFAIK nobody has called *Rahonavis* a possible chimera for years. It now sits rather stably among the unenlagiines. Its quill knobs are shared by none less...

... I know. What kind of idiot would assume Cenozoic dicynodonts really existed on RL? ... They should be more of a problem for arboreal galliformes...
... Thats what I thought, because the arm material can't possibly belong to Vorona if said bird is in the line that led to Neornithes. ... I'm open to any...

... Bantam are only as arboreal as say Turkeys are. Arbros have never occupied the same niches as Carpos - except fruit Arbros of course, which live in a...
... Andrea Cau seems to still believe it's a Chimera. My understanding is, besides the arm not being articulated, most of the speculation comes from the arm...
... I actually made two essays dedicated to Anurognathidae. That doesn't mean I wouldn't easily trade anurognathids for something more interesting (say, a...
