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
We need more fossil material to assess that first..
i actually was going to point that out
You cherry picked my post to pick parts that agree with what you are saying. If you read my whole post you would know that I disagree with you. Bradycneme is most likely either a Troodontid or an Alvarezsaurid.

Yes, and for all we know it could have lived in trees, have had bright purple feathers, and it could have sounded like an owl.

But we can't say this for sure. In fact, we should hardly even speculate it, based on how little we know about it :P

well if its either i would rather have a troodontid bradycneme MOVING ON FROM THAT

if bradycneme was an Alvarezsaur how big would it be?

Being known only from a piece of it's leg, I doubt you could get a for sure answer.

My bet would be anywhere from 2-8 feet (probably on the higher end of that range) because that is what all the other members of it's family fall into.

and if it was a troodont would it be around 13ft also did you get the purple bradycneme idea from fossil fighters?

No I was being sarcastic.. I was saying that it's pointless to speculate so wildly about an animal we literally know nothing about

then why are many speculating on amphicoelias xD
What is the most dubious of the dinosaurs?

Not many people have speculated anything about Amphicoelias beyond its size (which, if the calculations of the original fossils were correct, we can at least say it WAS an enormous animal), whereas you're speculating all kinds of illogical and unprovable claims about Bradycneme.

Many people don't even consider Amphicoelias a real thing anymore (the giant species), because the remains were lost and there was no way to study them further ,and to prove they were really that big.

Even the smaller species has been reclassified as Diplodocus IIRC.

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?

I can't seem to find refs for the exact species, sorry. Might've been indeterminate species.

Did Horseshoe canyon formation get snow during winter back into 68-69 million years ago?

I'd imagine so given its latitude, but I've never actually looked into that.

I am wondering is it possible a place where animals from more Northern area like Prince creek to migrate into during winter....
