Re: [dinosaur] Taxonomy clear up

Baur's Iguanodontia is synonymous with Ornithischia. Was Dollo's Iguanodontia closer to the modern concept of this clade?

The Sereno dates simply apply to the first uses in phylogenetic taxonomy.

I don't have access to the Dollo's "Iguanodontidae et Camptonotidae" (the source for the Dollo 1888 reference).

Baur was clearly under the impression that he was coming up with a new name in his 1891 paper: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdfplus/10.1086/275329

But tracking down Dollo would be a good thing.

Hi all. Among the many papers describing iguandontian taxa there is no consensus who is the appropriate author of Iguandontia.

Attributions range from Dollo, 1888 to Baur 1891, to Sereno, 1986 or 1998.

Can anyone figure this out?

Thanks,

Bucky
