Mini Coelurosauria Analysis

[Steven Mahon <floridamahon@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I have recently obtained the Phylogeny Inference
Package, (PHYLIP), & as a test I did a mini
coelurosaur analysis. I used 14 taxa & 17 characters.
(Well, not really characters I have an idea about what
groups share characteristics, so every character is
based on a clade). (I kept finding T-rex out of
Neotetanurae, & I dont know why).

Here's some examples:
(they're unrooted BTW)

Tyrannoraptora
|--Tyrannosaurus
`--Neotetanurae
   |--Carnosauria
   |  |--Allosaurus
   |  `--+--Ornitholestes
   |     `--Compsognathus
   `--Coelurosauria
      `--Maniraptora sensu Sereno
         |--Oviraptorosauria
         |  |--Therizinosaurus
         |  `--+--Oviraptor
         |     `--+--Chirostenotes
         |        `--Avimimus
         `--Maniraptoriformes
            |--Arctometatarsalia
            |  |--Mononykus
            |  `--Ornithomimus
            `--Maniraptora
               `--Eumaniraptora
                  |--Deinonychosauria
                  |  |--Velociraptor
                  |  `--Troodon
                  `--Avialae
                     |--Archaeopteryx
                     `--Passer
