Not quite SVP, the SVP abstract book was supposed to be out by the 23rd, got delayed, pushed back to the 26th and still hasn't been made public. These are the abstracts for this year's SVPCA. That said, I'm totally pumped for that Maastrichtian pterosaur deposit, closely followed by that diminutive arzhdarchoid, which is supposedly being published some time this week. |

Besides the pterosaur news the things, polidopymorphians not being a monophyletic clade is also important: - Since some were in fact stem-shrew-opossums, this means that marsupials probably diverged earlier than genetic data indicates. - Combined with gondwanatherians, this means that there were at least three lineages of rodent-mimics in Paleogene South America. |

I'm confused, is this another coloured Psittacosaurus or a formal paper on the colours visible on the quilled specimen? |

It's not the quilled specimen. This one is P. lujiatunensis... |

I'm not so sure on that, the abstract only tentatively assigns it to P. lujiatunensis ("Psittacosaurus ?lujiatunensis"), and there's a new paper published just today that examines the bristles on the "quilled" specimen that says
And Vinther is the lead author of this abstract, so I'm willing to bet it's the same specimen (Vinther was also an author on the new bristles paper). Edited by TheNotFakeDK, Aug 30 2016, 07:35 PM.

I thought the bristled specimen was P. mongoliensis... Oh well. To be fair, you can actually see countershading and speckles across the bristled specimen anyway. Especially on the forearms. Edited by Incinerox, Aug 31 2016, 06:50 AM.
