Artist's Renderings

Here are artist's renderings of the taxa we are interested in. They show that the pterosaur is much closer to basal paraves than the dinosaur is.

Here is a summary of the basic ideas of this site:

Birds developed in a lineage from short bony tailed pterosaurs to short bony tailed scansoriopterygids that developed into basal pygostylia that developed into modern birds. A side lineage earlier developed from the long tailed pterosaurs to long bony tailed scansoriopterygids. That lineage went extinct. The category called coelurosaur dinosaurs includes only actual dinosaurs (eg. tyrannosaurs). It does not include birds. The fossil record supports the pterosaur-to-bird theory. The fossil record does not support the dinosaur-to-bird theory.
