That's fairly small. He also states something to the effect there were none (or none have been found) that were the size of things like mice. Mammals of that size are preserved from the same time, so there is fair confidence that such dinosaurs did not exist. Of course, something like very soft bone in the tiny dinos could always be postulated, but probably never proved.
