Re: Tanystropheus egg question
Hi Mike.
<<Depends on the theory you subscribe to. If pterosaurs had prolacertiform
ancestors, then Tanystropheus was oviparous also, but if pterosaurs were a
sistergroup to dinosaurs, then Tanystropheus _could_ have been oviparous
considering phylgenetic bracketing, but we wouldn't know for sure unless an
egg was found with a Tanystropheus embryo.>>
Doesn't that imply an anaconda must be oviparous? If so, I think they ought
to be informed of this at once.
