I've also included Nedcolbertia in my coelurosaur analysis, but my results
are not as clear as Tom's. It's always more derived than tyrannosauroids
and less derived than (Bagaraatan + Protarchaeopteryx + oviraptorosaurs +
segnosaurs + paravians), but besides that, it varies wildly. Latest run
says-
(Tyrann (Nedcolb (Ornithol (Compsog ((Coelur, Scipio) (Ornithom (Nqweb,
others))))))).
