With the addition of Huaxiagnathus and the placement of Juravenator off by itself, this represents a "generic" separation of all named compsognathids that I have rendered so far. Three compsognathids remain, and will be added as I do them, though the value of adding one, Aristosuchus pusillus, is limited due to it being a partial pelvis and sacrum. The other two compsognathids, Scipionyx samniticus and Mirischia asymmetrica, will be added when they are completed and scaled to this panoply.
Sorry for the delay ... I replied under that image discussion.

Well, so far they seem to be farther away from birds than tyrannosaurs are. But they also share a lot of features in the shoulder and pelvis found otherwise only in tyrannosaurs among theropods, features also seen to some degree in "coelurids", which I discussed in part in my Despotosaurs skull images. They might be the ancestral morphotype that tyrannosaurs themselves adapted.

Well, they might be. The issue is of a good deal of uncertainty in systematic circles dealing with the taxa right now. One can see a good deal of similarity, but it's putting that into context that is hard.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
