Protoavis refs





Isn't "Protoavis" a Dockum Group specimen that is likely to be a chimera in the end? BTW, could someone post a list of the paper citations for this taxa? The only definite thing I know is Chatterjee's The Rise of Birds book and it's briefly mentioned in Paul's Predatory Dinosaurs of the World.
