I should point out, thought, that regardless of convention (as in bird-related topologies) "Oviraptorosauria" is used for the same effective group as "Caenagnathiformes" and far, far more often -- and without the Linnaean baggage that is the reason there are so many avian "orders" with -iformes attached to their named.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-37638762398768252522012-11-24T18:20:51.242-05:002012-11-24T18:20:51.242-05:00That looks like an amazing book- what GSP's &q...That looks like an amazing book- what GSP's "field guide" was supposed to be, but done right this time.

Although most of us uses "basal coelurosaurs" as "compsognathid-grade" or "non-maniraptoriform" or "less derived than Tyrannosauroidea", perhaps in that context it merely may mean "non-paravian".Andrea Cauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855060597677361866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-52922260248396811522012-11-24T10:07:25.637-05:002012-11-24T10:07:25.637-05:00Will be any way for we Canadian folks to acquire a...Will be any way for we Canadian folks to acquire a copy?
