Thanks for sharing that article Perry. Very interesting. I didn't even know about the division if birds into fused and non-fused palate. I wonder if the ratites, rather than regressing (which is certainly possible) just evolved at the same time but separately from the non-fused bunch. So hard to say when you are trying to look that far into the past and draw conclusions from a single fossil.
