Re: Complete juvenile theropod unveiled in Germany

[Jura <pristichampsus@yahoo.com>]

Despite seeing the reference to filamentous integument, I did not see any signs 
of it (or any integument) in the photos. I wonder how well supported the basal 
megalosaur position will wind up being, especially given that this is a 
juvenile.
