<1) What has ever been found of Rahona ostromi? I saw a photo of its 
foot, but nothing more. Is the foot the only thing that has been found? 
If so, the foot is as little birdlike as any Dromaeosaurid foot!>

vertebrae:
Posterior cervical; two articulated anterior dorsals, and two 
articulated posterior dorsals that articulate with the sacrum; five (?) 
sacrals; very dromaeosaurid tail, a caudal series that is over 50% 
complete, perhaps from the first caudal.
girdles:
left scapula; left ilium and ischium, right pubis.
limbs:
ulna and radius; left femur and tibia; a metatarsal; hallugeal digit (pd 
I) with recurved ungual; second digit with both phalanges and long 
ungual +1/4 the length of the phalanges, longer than 50% of 
metacarpal---which is 1/2 length of tibia; very long first phalanx of 
digit III.
