I'm trying to put an image of the Scipionyx fossil, but I can't get it posted. Here is the URL for it at BBC news, http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1445000/images/_1446706_dino300.jpg . If you know how to put up the image please do! I'll try and gather more info on the dinosaur.
Article formerly read " Marco Signore of the Universita degli Studi di Napoli in Naples, [1] who identified it as the first Italian dinosaur." On 18 July 2007, User:Exairetos changed this to " Marco Signore of the University of Naples Federico II". Can anyone clarify this matter? Thanks. -- Writtenonsand 17:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
"Fossil evidence indicates that most coelurosaurs were probably feathered."
I've removed this. Not exactly false, but un-cited, vague, and veers dangerously close to WP:SYNTHESIS.
Also, although Skippy was "preserved in the Pietraroia limestone formation, well known for unusually well-preserved fossils. ... bodies of water [which] were oxygen deficient, leading to the well-preserved Scipionyx specimen, much like the fine fossil preservation seen in Germany's Archaeopteryx", this Scipionyx chick shows no actual evidence of feathers or down.
I wouldn't have any objection to including something on this if we could produce a good (Scipionyx-relevant) cite.

A recently published article has proposed that some Compsognathids are actually hatchlings of various large predatory dinosaurs, and Scipionyx in particular is possibly a hatchling Carcharodontosaurid. <ref> https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354418322_Comments_on_the_Mesozoic_theropod_dinosaurs_from_Italy<ref>
