Samrukia nessovi, gen. et sp. nov. (a) Summary phylogenetic topology (based on the strict consensus tree, of 24 shortest trees). Our global analysis is one of the first to hypothesize Archaeopteryx as a basal member of Paraves, although these inter-relationships are condensed here for brevity using a dotted line (see the electronic supplementary material for complete tree, names of nodes and details of analysis). MPT length, 3888 steps; consistency index (CI) excluding uninformative characters, 0.3187; retention index (RI), 0.5810. (b–f), Holotype Wyoming Dinosaur Centre, Thermopolis, USA (WDC Kz-001), posterior portion of left mandibular ramus, in (b) dorsal and (c) ventral views, and right ramus in (d) lateral and (e) medial views. (f) Dorsal view of both rami, with area of specimen originally reconstructed in plaster and painted (photographed before preparation) inset in grey. Area of specimen originally reconstructed in plaster and painted (photographed before preparation) is inset in grey. Abbreviations: art. pn. for., articular pneumatic foramen; lat. cot., lateral cotyle; Meck. gr., Meckel's groove; med. cot., medial cotyle; med. flange, medial flange; med. sulc., medial sulcus; m. l., medial lamina.
