  Archeo means old, pter means wing, is yx just a suffix or does it mean something in itself?

    The -yx comes from the Greek word “onyx” which means claw or talon. So, anything ending in a -yx is designated that way to say that it has sharp cutty bits that will hurt you.

  It’s high time we replaced Philosoraptor with Sarcastiopterix.

  Fun bio fact: there’s also an extinct plant named Archaeopteris, thought for some time to be the world’s first tree.
