- maxillary and posterior dentary teeth with reduced mediolateral
compression.
This is inapplicable in Caudipteryx.
- dorsal pleurocoels present in all dorsal centra.
This is tentatively coded as absent in Caudipteryx based on Zhou et al.'s
(2000) statement that no deep dorsal pleurocoels are present.
- coracoid facets on sternum almost anterior, at an angle of 100 degrees or
more to each other.
Absent in Caudipteryx.
