Talk:Beipiaognathus

Cau's objections to the paper
None of this, of course, is currently published research, and constitutes to some extent original research on behalf of Cau. It is left here in case it becomes relevant in the future.


 * However, Andrea Cau has informally noted a number of points in the fossil that are indicative of it having been artifically assembled, thus rendering the specimen phylogenetically uninformative. Additionally, he argues that the characters cited are not unique to compsognathids, with fan-shaped neural spines being also seen in ornithomimosaurs and the troodontid Sinovenator, and the robust I-1 phalanx also being seen in alvarezsaurids.
