   Looks like I'll be updating my article "Theropod wishbones."

   For accuracy's sake, I ought to list specific species.  Anybody know the
species with confirmed fuculae?  Here's the list:

Aves.  <-- I don't actually want a list of these. 

Dromaeosaurids, including a new North American species of Velociraptor. 

Oviraptorids (the furcula of Oviraptor philoceratops is pictured above).
<-- say, is it still Oviraptor philoceratops or did it get placed in the
new genus, whose name I can't remember? 

Tyrannosaurids. 

Troodontids 

Allosaurids, including the new Dinosaur National Monument allosaurid, and
Allosaurus fragilis, whose furcula was misidentified for years as gastralia. 

Carcharodontosaurids.
