This is just a quick update since we hadn't communicated in a few months. The expanded and corrected matrix for the phylogenetic analysis took longer to analyze than we'd hoped, but after cracking that nut (which has a few surprises waiting in it!) we submitted the paper in April.
Now the paper has to make its way through the peer review process before it can be published. We'll keep you posted when we know more.
As always, thanks for your support!

We intend to describe the skeletal anatomy and phylogeny of one of the earliest maniraptoran dinosaurs of North America. Maniraptoran theropods (including the famous Velociraptor) were the group of dinosaurs that includes the ancestors of birds. The new specimen lived in Wyoming during the Late Jurassic Period (~150 mya). Only three feet long, this new species is one of the smallest dinosaurs from the Morrison; it's considered a missing link between small, meat–eating dinosaurs and modern birds.
