Thanks for your input. I'm not a scientist and got burned
on that. Our Paleo guy warned me everyone was sharp..and also opinionated.
Here I was trying for a simple answer to a 4th grade teacher.  Ouch!

Dear Chip -


Re your dinolist posting -

I envy you your specimens, and I'd love to see them.  I'm particularly
intrigued by a "full cast of Utahraptor" !

Sadly I won't be able to (in the forseeable future anyway), and sadly I
must also inform you that not only is "bambi" a reptile, and a dinosaur,
it is also a bird, and it isn't feinbergi !  ;-)


Good luck with the do,


John

Bambiraptor feinbergi is the new guy on the block. He/she/it is not a
reptile but a dinosaur. Check out the info at www.gravesmuseum.org. The
"feathered" version that you are probably refering to is an artist
conception of what "Bambi" might have looked like. The site shows a painting
by Pat Redman, a leaping skeleton by Mary Tanner, and a model by Brian
Cooley.
The validity of the feathers is what the symposium's all about.
