Re: mighty digimorphin' dinosaurs



>can anyone offhand cite anything else which is supposed to separate
_kayentakatae_ from Coelophysis<
The lower jaw is much more robust than either species of _Coelophysis_, it
possesses a large maxillary platform (I don't know if that's what other
people call it, its my own term. Its the large, depressed area around the
AOF on the maxilla), and I believe it possesses caudal centra that are
grooved ventrally (I may be wrong and be thinking of _Coelophysis_, though.
One of them has it, and one of them doesn't).
That's just off the top of my head with about 2 minutes though. I'm sure I
can dredge up more if you (or anyone else) is interested once I look over
the respective papers and photographs some more.
Peace,
