Re: Diapsids

[David Marjanovic <david.marjanovic@gmx.at>]

I coded *Bubo bubo* from Feduccia 1996 p. 3. As a result there's much 
missing data. I did fill in a few characters that are constant within 
Neornithes, but only the most obvious ones.

The newest discoveries -- most importantly the redescription of 
*Eoenantiornis*, the Thermopolis specimen of *Archaeopteryx*, and the 
discovery of *Jinfengopteryx* -- are not accounted for!

Strict consensus of 9542 trees (length = 229): ingroup = perfect 
phylogenetic grass.

(Even though I'd have expected lots more trees, like 150000 for example.)

Supraspecific names represent composites of both species. The allzero 
outgroup is a generic basal coelurosaur like *Compsognathus*.

Majority-rule consensus:

Interesting, no? Meets neither of my expectations, though it does almost 
meet one of them.

"Everything else" is the following list. Each is on its own a member of the 
polytomy marked 70.
