Sinosauropteryx to be a bird. They argued that the filamentous plumes of "Sinosauropteryx" represent true feathers with a rachis and barbs, and thus that "Sinosauropteryx" should be considered a true bird. They classified the genus as belonging to a new biological order, Sinosauropterygiformes, family Sinosauropterygidae, within the subclass Sauriurae. These proposals have not been accepted, and "Sinosauropteryx" is generally classified in the family Compsognathidae, a group of small-bodied long-tailed coelurosaurian theropods known from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous of Asia, Europe, and South America. Below is a cladogram showing the placement of "Sinosauropteryx" within Coelurosauria by Senter "et al." in
Calamus caryotoides Calamus caryotoides Calamus caryotoides (also "Palmijuncus caryotoides"), more commonly known as fishtail lawyer cane is a North-East Queensland tropical forest climbing palm with very thin () flexible trunks; no crownshaft; small spikes; dark green, glossy, fish-tail shaped leaves reaching up to high ( spread); and very thin hooked flagella. It tends to clump and grow up into the shaded understory of Queensland's wet tropical forests, and is a close relative of the more infamous "Calamus radicalis" (aka Wait-a-While). The Cairns Botanical Gardens records local Yidinydji, Yirrganyydji, Djabuganydji, and Gungganydji use "Calamus caryotoides" (also known to Yidinydji as Bugul, pronounced BOOK-KOOL)
