Very cool to see well-known lineages illustrated this way. But remind me to update some of my submitted silhouettes and maybe throw in a Yanornis or something for basal euornithines. I'm thinking a Protopteryx would be a better proxy for basal pygostylia/ornithothoraces as well... or at least chop the beak off of that Changchengornis.

ReplyDeleteThis is great. Cannot wait to start submitting again!
