Tachiraptor
- ... that the 200-million year old Tachiraptor is the second dinosaur discovered from Venezuala, and a basal averostran?
- ALT1:... that Tachiraptor is an Early Jurassic Venezualan basal averostran that has reduced the ghost lineage of its group?
- Comment: This is a fairly important discovery, much in the same way Nyasasaurus was, so I think it's reasonable to put it up as a DYK entry.

- I agree that the discovery is important, but I must point out that Tachiraptor is not a basal averostran for the simple reason that it is not an averostran. It is part of the branch leading to the Averostra.--MWAK (talk) 16:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
