Description After a long time I post a non-cladogram non-journal post, you probably will like this a bit more since 12 of you chose it

Notes:
01-Elopteryx here is restored based on a Velociraptorine skeleton even if I classify it as a Unenlagine because other possible Laurasian Unenlagines have been found as Velociraptorines. And they weren't fish specialists as their Gondwanan relatives.
02-Struthiosaurus has no armor because the study about its armor was done for S.austriacus rather them S.transylvanicus, and I'd just split those cause 15 million year gap.
03-There is possibility of a giant dromie and troodont from Hateg, the first is know from skull bones and the second only by teeth. I'm not going to scale the dromie and I'm not messing with tooth taxa.

Species that were omitted:
01-Abelisauroid: Fossilworks lists an abelisauroid femur from Hateg, but when I checked out it was either the or part of Bradycneme holotype. Megalosaurus hungaricus may be an Abelisaurid but it is a tooth taxa and I'm not messing with those.
02-Bradycneme: it is dubious, papers even refereed to it as "Bradycname" so I decided not adding it.
03-Doratodon: waned to add this one but its phylogenetic placement is problematic and so I decided moving it to the bench.
04-Dracula: fuck it, there is no paper and it is from the same place and time as Hatzegopteryx.
05-"Magyarosaurus" hungaricus: it is much larger them the rest of the fauna, it may be from a time before where Hateg may not have been an island or from latest Maastrichtian where Hateg got larger because of sea level drops. Besides that we don't know if it is Magyarosaurus and I didn't had a clue from which taxa I would scale it, so it will not show up.
06-Richardoestesia teeth: we never know what it can be microraptorine, halszkaraptorine or even crocodile.
07-Troodontid teeth: say no to tooth taxa scaling.

Forgot adding some notes, Dracula is addressed in there.

Both Sauropods got upsized so that also made them taller, but not so much since their shoulder height are not that tall (Magy ~1.75m and Paludi ~2m)

Ah right, yeah I’m with you on that.

It’s amazing how much difference neck length can make.
