Anchiornithidae is a family of small paravian dinosaurs.[1] Anchiornithids have been classified at varying positions in the paravian tree, with some scientists classifying them as a distinct family, a basal subfamily of Troodontidae,[2][3][4][5] members of Archaeopterygidae,[2][6] or an assemblage of dinosaurs that are an evolutionary grade within Avialae[7] or Paraves.[8]
