I don't understand your point, Cliff. The topic of discussion was hollow
bones. You present a web site discussion of Coelophysis, which I can only
assume you think has relevance because it is a Saurichian, a "lizard-hipped
dinosaur". Therapods are saurichians, ceratosaurians are theropods,
Coelophysis is a ceratosaurian (even if sunk into Rioarribasaurus).
Maniraptorians are also theropods, birds are classified with other
maniraptors by dinosaur taxonomists.
What's your point?
