Is there any good reason for regarding

> saurischian?

I used Justin Tweet's wonderful Thescelosaurus! that
gave me info on that critter.
He has it in Dinosauria i.s. but notes that it has
been considered a theropod & a prosauropod. So I
concluded to put where the two branches met-
Saurischia! See here-

HP Tweet also lists it as having been considered a turtle. So why not just kick it all the out back to Reptilia? ;)
Ideally, such vague references ought to be cited, so as not to spread confusion amongst the oft-confused Internet dinosaur community. Though I still get a kick out of how many people believed my obviously false "Reelybigosaurus" story (now removed from my website) years ago.
