Re: Omnivore Class

Apart from modern birds, there is no proof of omnivory in any dinosaur. But
here is a list of some groups for which omnivory has been suggested:
- basal _Dinosauria_ (including basal theropods, sauropodomorphs, and
ornithischians)
- _Oviraptorosauria_
- _Therizinosauria_
- _Troodontidae_ (which are supposed to have similar dentition to
_Pachycephalosauria_....)
- _Omnivoropteryx_ (obviously) and many other avian taxa

Omnivory has also been suggested for the Aussie ornithopod _Muttaburrasaurus_.
