I've been trying to figure that one out myself for a very long time.

I think I was supposed to be doing something directly related to solving the problem but I forget what.

So a while back there was this study on mesozoic marine reptiles, trying to define their colour... They tested a turtle, an Ichthyosaur, and a Mosasaur and found them to all be black. Does anyone know the particular species that were tested?

Is this bradycneme reconstruction accurate?

Nope. If Bradycneme was a troodontid it would have wing feathers, similar o those birds have.

If Bradycneme was an Alvarezsaurid then it would be much more inaccurate.

It is a Alvarezsaurid?

If Bradycneme was an Alvarezsaurid then it would be much more inaccurate.
Even then it would presumably have only one finger and no toe claw.

That's what I meant when I said it would be much more inaccurate. xD

personally i think bradycneme is neither of these I think it is part of a new group of maniraptoran.

What reasoning do you have to think that? There's so little fossil material that such an interpretation would just be wishful thinking.

Because There's so little fossil material that we can not really tell if it is or not

By that reasoning, do you know the frightening amount of species belonging to new groups?

That still doesn't mean it most likely belongs to a different group. We need more fossil material to assess that first. All you do is make wild guesses without evidence.

If you are lucky, then yes, I guess it will be part of it's own new group.

I find that highly unlikely though, based on what the little we do have about it. They think its either a troodontid or, as was recently published, an alvarezsaurid.

It may even be an oviraptorosaur or a dromeaosaur or even a scansoropterid
