Bird-Dino stuff: another news article on Scipionyx Samniticus

[Don Lamson <dlamson@iea.com>]

Fanning the fire, this quote comes from another news article on
Scipionyx Samniticus

            Signore said the dinosaur would have been part of the
evolutionary line leading to birds.   While it did not fly itself, it
had a small V-shaped bone or ``furcula'' which modern-day birds are
equipped with to support
their beating wings.
            ``We're going back to the Benevento region to see if we can
find more examples of this dinosaur and perhaps other new species,''
said Signore. ``This is just the beginning.''
