Coelurosauria Analysis Complete!!!



 Hello Again!

I have finally finished my analysis! It defintiely
needs editing, & like Nick told, I should add some
more genera.
Anyways-
30 genera
270 characters
7 trees found

The only thing different about all of them is that the
therizinosaurs were grouped funny because of a lack of
therizinosauroid characters. And Ornitholestes jumped
all over the place. Look:

I'm working on a list of synapomorphies. I'll put it
on my site w/ the matrix.
