It's not like I actually ever wrote an entire article on the crurotars... oh bollocks. ;-) Well how was I supposed to know?

It would be helpful to know when these things lived, and what happened before and after. Wait a minute, I thought crocodiles were crurotarsans!

I'm more interested in the skull morphology, honestly. It's no surprise that therizinosaurs had feathers. They are consistently placed within Maniraptora. The only real debate is whether or not they are a sister group to oviraptorosaurs or not. Zanno's SVP presentation last year suggests that they do NOT, but instead form the most basal branch of the Maniraptora. Awesome find, though. Now I need to get my grubby hands on a copy of the paper. Is there, perchance, a link? That a really beautiful specimen. I’m more interested in the skull morphology, honestly.
