Dinosaur transitional - From carnivore to vegetarian

quote:

---

it should be noted also that this dinosaur is transitional in another way. it is yet another avian dinosaur

Dinosaur, yes.Avian, unlikely. Sister to birds, probably. But us BAND people still waiting for the pre-Archaeopteryx raptor.And dinosaur depictions look more and more like chickens these days... Where have all the terrible lizards gone?

Why, to fill the gap of Archy's ancestor of course!Surely you don't think those raptors born 50 million years after Archaeopteryx were her ancestors? To convert me from BAND to dino-bird, I would only need one evidence of the existence of raptors before Archy.Four-Wings, Microraptor gui came close, but still younger than Archy.
