However, noasaurids differ from velocisaurids in having a specialized
raptorial ungueal structure.
Has this been shown to be true yet? I understand there has recently been
some doubt circulating about whether or not Noasaurus did, in fact, have a
"raptorial" claw. Where did this doubt come from? What's the reasoning
behind it? I know Tracy Ford made a reconstruction in which the supposed
sickle claw is placed on the hand...
