Re: Introductory paper on transitional dinosaurs aimed at educators

Indeed, but we still need the respective references and not to google "Nature + Falcarius" to know from where it comes .

I'm pretty surprised to see that the figures are not credited in the paper
of Clark & Xu. Some of them come obviously from personal data (e.g, photos,
Dilong, Falcarius, Guanglong, Yinlong) but some others are not, such as the
reconstruction of Psittacosaurus mongoliensis, taken from Osborn (1924).
Also, I would like to know where the reconstruction of Brachiosaurus brancai
is coming from: it does not resemble the ones I was used to see lastly. Is
it all new ?
