Linnean Sauropods + Boo Boos
Ok, I'll get to the boo boos first. In the Infraorder Oviraptorisauria
there should also be the family Chirostenotidae (=Elmisauridae). Also, in
the Infraorder Heterodontosauria, there should be the family Pisanosauridae.
If Segnosaurs belong in the theropoda, this is how I would classify them:
Class Aves
Subclass Creaves (new)
Superorder Theropoda
Order Tetanurae
Suborder Maniraptora
Infraorder Therizanosauroidea (=Segnosauria)
Family Segnosauridae
Subfamily Segnosaurinae
Subfamily Enigmasauridae
Family Nanshiungosauridae
If in the Phytodinosauria, they should be:
Class Aves
Subclass Phytodinosauria
Superorder Therizanosauroidea (=Segnosauria)
Family Segnosauridae
Subfamily Segnosaurinae
Subfamily Enigmasauridae
Family Nanshiungosauridae
Anyway... here's my Sauropods
Class Aves
Subclasss Phytodinosauria
Superorder Sauropodomorpha
Order Prosauropoda
Suborder Anchisauria (new)
Family Thecodontosauridae
Family Anchisauridae
Suborder Plateosauria (new)
Family Massaspondylidae
Family Plateosauridae
Family Yunnanosauridae
Suborder Protosauropoda (new)
Family Blikinisauridae
Family Euskelosauridae (=Melanorosauridae)
Order Sauropoda
Suborder Pachyspondyla (new)
Family Vulcanodontidae
Family Baraposauridae
Suborder Cetiosauria (new)
Family Cetiosauridae
Subfamily Cetiosaurinae
Subfamily Shunosaurinae
Suborder Titanosauria (new)
Infraorder Mammenchisauria (new)
Family Rhoetosauridae? (new)
Family Mammenchisauridae
Infraorder Titanosauroidea (new)
Family Diplodicidae
Family Dicraeosauridae
Family Titanosauridae
Suborder Brachiosauria (new)
Infraorder Brachiosauroidea (new)
Family Brachiosauridae
Infraorder Camarasauria (new)
Family Camarasauridae
Family Opisthicoelicaudidae
Well, there they are. Aren't they bueatiful? I would very much
appreciate comments (please none yelling at me for not using cladistics, I'm
working on it). Note the assignment of the Rhoetosauridae is _very_
tentitive. See ya.

While I was working at The Dinosaurs of Jurassic Park many funny things
happened to me. Upon asking a women what the plastic coprolite was supposed
to be she answered correctly. She then told me about a store in Virginia
where all they sell is coprolite. She even told me about their very large
(cow-pie sized) coprolites that they cut in half for use as book-ends!
