摘要: Abstract We appreciate the comments of Buffetaut and Angst on our recent study a Gargantuavis-like pelvis from Late Cretaceous Romania. consider some their points to be valid, but maintain conclusion likely absence glycogen body in Gargantuavis lack fusion pelvic elements acetabular region. Both characters conflict with classification taxon into Ornithurae. also uphold hypothesis that is possibly related enigmatic theropod Balaur bondoc.
