Would you like frys with that? ;)  Let us get this critter published 
first, then we'll try to find soft tissue impressions in the Morrison.  
Or else watch that Middle Jurassic Formation that'll be making a little 
splash at SVP this year...

6 million years older than Archie... That would mean we now have some 
good skeletal evidence of pre-Archaeopteryx "deinonychosaurs," 
something the Feducciaries are likely going to have a tough time 
explaining away (though they may well try to challenge the revised 
dates). Of course, it would be better if we had a Microraptor-like 
creature with feather impressions, but this is something, at least. Â
