some 10 non-avian dinosaur genera. Could anyone tally all of them?
Excluding archaeopterygids and anything closer to Aves...
Dilong paradoxus
Sinosauropteryx prima
(?)Compsognathus longipes
Shuvuuia deserti
Yixianosaurus longimanus
Beipiaosaurus inexpectus
Protarchaeopteryx robusta
Caudipteryx zoui
Caudipteryx dongi (= C. zoui)
Pedopenna daohugouensis
Jinfengopteryx elegans
Sinornithosaurus millenii
Cryptovolans pauli (= Microraptor zhaoianus?)
Microraptor gui (= M. zhaoianus?)
Microraptor zhaoianus
Scansoriopteryx heilmanni
Also, is anything new about the only non-theropod dinosaur with such
structures, the >infamous "furry" Psittacosaurus specimen? Thanks, Vlad
Even if Psittacosaurus' quills are homologous with feathers, they're clearly
not the same type of structures seen in coelurosaurs. But no, nothing else
has been published.
