maxillary fenestration (was "magical" feathers)

["Ken Kinman" <kinman@hotmail.com>]

Dear All,
     I think Philidor makes an important point that has not been answered 
(AFAIK).  So I'll rephrase what I believe to be the major thrust of that 
question:
      What coelurosaurs are known to have had maxillary fenestration, and 
is there a good chance that Erlikosaurus and Chirostenotes didn't have such 
fenestration in their ancestry?
    Could this be a red flag that we need to look closer at the assumptions 
that have resulted in the conclusion that they "lost" maxillary fenestration 
from ancestors that "possessed" this character?
                     ------Ken
