Re: Dr. Holtz' secret: Buitreraptor gonzalezorum

[dinoboygraphics@aol.com]

A curious note from Msnbc: "But the Buitreraptor fossil in South 
America, which dates back 90 million years and closely resembles 
fossils from the North, means one of two things: Either dromaeosaurs 
existed when Pangea was intact, or the newfound Buitreraptor and its 
northern look-alikes evolved separately yet with remarkably similar 
results."

Not that I'm the biggest fan of secondary flightless dromeaosaurs, but 
doesn't this discussion leave out the possibility that Buitreraptor's 
ancestors flew to the southern hemisphere in the Early Cretaceous?
