GENERAL INFO
Pendraig milnerae was a quite small non-coelophysid coelophysoid theropod.
It was collected on the Upper Triassic rocks of southern Wales, United Kingdom. Pendraig comes from the Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry, ~214-201 Ma, Norian to Rhaetian stage of the Late Triassic.
Pendraig is known mostly from its holotype (NHMUK PV R 37591), an incomplete specimen which preserved a partial pelvis, some dorsal and sacral vertebrae and a left femur.
Known skeletal remains are depicted in white and unkown in gray. Buriolestes , Eodromaeus , Panguraptor, Lucianovenator, Coelophysis, Liliensternus, Syntarsus kayentakatae, and Syntarsus rhodesiensis were used to reconstruct the proportions and missing elements of Pendraig's skeleton.
NOTES
Due to its size and phylogenetic position, I gave this one a skull more similar to that of Panguraptor or juvenile Coelophysis. This is something that I should do to my Erythrovenator as well.
