Compsognathidae

Description
Source: Wikipédia
Les Compsognathidae (en français compsognathidés) forment une famille éteinte de dinosaures théropodes carnivores, généralement de petite taille datant du Jurassique et du Crétacé. Leur nom signifie (en grec) « à mâchoire frêle ». Ils sont les premiers ou parmi les premiers animaux connus à avoir porté des plumes comme on a pu en retrouver les traces chez trois genres : Sinosauropteryx, Sinocalliopteryx et Juravenator. Si les deux premiers étaient entièrement couverts de plumes primitives, le troisième avait des écailles sur la queue et les pattes arrière.
Il n'est pas sûr que les Compsognathidae soient à classer au sein des Coelurosauria. Certains les considèrent comme la famille la plus primitive de cette super-famille tandis que d'autres les classent dans les Maniraptora,.
