Re: An even dumber question



From: "Brad McFeeters" <archosauromorph2@hotmail.com>

Shouldn't it be:
  |---Lepidosauria (incl Komodo Dragons)
  `-+-Archosauria
    `--+--Crurotarsi (incl Crocodiles)
       `--+--Pterosauria
          |--Scleromochlus
          `--+--Lagerpeton
             `--+--Marasuchus
                `--+--Silesaurus
                   `--+--Saurischia
                      `--Ornithischia

Cheers,
Jean-Michel


No, because the clade you depict as the sister taxon of Archosauria actually is Archosauria.

Archosauriformes is what you want, I think, Jean-Michel.
