Basal Ornithischia and Stegosauria
Given that I've got a request for something on Ornithischia, I'm putting
some of it up now.
`---Saurischia
..`--+---Pisanosaurus
....|...`---Lesothosaurus
....|.....`--Stormbergia
....|.......`--Agilisaurus
....|.........`---Ornithopoda
....|...........`---Abrictosaurus
....|.............`--+--Heterodontosaurus
....|...............|...`---Lycorhinus
....|...............`---Pachycephalosauria
....|.................`---Ceratopia
....`---Scutellosaurus
......`--+---Tatisaurus
........|...`---Emausaurus
........|.....`--+---Huayangosaurus
........|.........|...`---Regnosaurus
........|.........`---Dacentrurus
........|...........`---Chungkingosaurus
........|.............`---Chialingosaurus
........|...............`---Kentrosaurus
........|.................`---Lexovisaurus
........|...................`---Tuojiangosaurus
........|.....................`---Hesperosaurus
........|.......................`---Stegosaurus
........|.........................`---Wuerhosaurus
........`---Scelidosaurus
..........`---Ankylosauria
I've probably made my share of mistakes here, especially given the recent
idea that Chialingosaurus may be invalid due the holotype material being
missing or something. And I've recently heard that Stegosaurus was the only
stegosaur to lack shoulder spines, not sure if this is true. If it is, it
would be the most derived of them all. Do Wuerhosaurus or Hesperosaurus have
shoulder spines?
