read the book (finally a good italian book on dinosaurs!) and found no more
info about Scipionyx's position than those previously available after the
considerations made onlist. It is
considered a basal coelurosaur because of the presence of the following
primitive features: prefrontal well-developed; lacrimal robust; acromion
present, rounded coracoid ;ischial distal expansion (ischial foot?); 4th
trocanter weakly developed ; unexpanded , thin v-shaped chevrons. These
are given in the book. Bye Filippo
Calzolari Now for
the big question…How can we order the book? Tracy L. Ford P. O. Box 1171 Poway Ca 92074 |
