Are Paleontologist's re-evaluating the phylogenetic position of Sciurumimus? While I think it would be neat for full coats of feathers to have sprung as early as Megalosauridae, I can't really imagine it practically and still take the theory with a grain of salt.

I really wish I could have gone to study Paleontology, but Medicine ain't bad. Hearing stories like that of Mike Taylor, Horner, and even George Blasing makes me feel confident that I have a chance even after I finish my current studies though.

How much creative powers does a Paleontologist advisor have in projects they are tied in with? I assume it depends on the scale of the project... So say, how much room did Horner have for Jurassic Park? He wasn't able to push Dinosaurs to full accuracy, even in the first film. Was it due to lack of trying, or did he really not have enough power on the design and behavior of the dinosaurs?
