OLD - WIP Speculative Avemetatarsalia Phylogeny

By

Description

Here is a little something I've been working on that was actually built upon an updated version of my speculative Tyrannosauroidea phylogeny.  Yes, I will attempt to add every species of Avemetatarsalia (except Passeriformes... I'm not that crazy... probably).



IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

- This is NOT created using any character data sets and should NOT be treated as such.  Therefore, this is NOT verified science and should NOT be referenced in that manner.

- I do NOT take credit for any of the ACTUAL phylogenetic analyses that were viewed and used as a reference for this.  The list would be too long to even compile to credit the right people.  As stated before, this is SPECULATIVE and is just a method of plotting out ideas.

- This is a WIP and will be constantly updated as it is completed and as I get feedback.

- Speaking of feedback, PLEASE give it.  This is a very large project and I am certain that I have made and will make mistakes.  Correct me on them.  As well, this is a view of my ideas and I understand that I may not be fully informed on certain details.  Inform me.  Let me hear your speculation so I can take it into consideration when working on this.

- Tell me any species/genera/unnamed taxa that I may have missed in the areas completed thus far.  However, I ask that you don't try to say, "UR MISIN STEGASOWRUS" when I haven't even started on Thyreophora yet, just to use an example.

- Similar to the point above, as new species/genera are described let me know to put them in and where.  (This also applies if you hear any murmurs about undescribed specimens... shhh.)

- Help me resolve any polytomies. There are also some species that I cannot place. These include: Erectopus superbus, Fosterovenator churei, Compsosuchus solus, Laevisuchus indicus, Ligabueino andesi, Vitakrisaurus saraiki, Tarascosaurus salluvicus, Vitakridrinda sulaimani, Xenotarsosaurus bonapartei, Taurovenator violantei, Altispinax dunkeri, Yaverlandia bitholus, Eshanosaurus deguchiianus

- Lastly, if I am missing any disclaimers, LET ME KNOW. I do not wish to upset people, well... most people.

Man congrats, that's an awesome work!

Edit-Some Questions:

1-Why Nyasasaurus as a stem ortnithoscelidian instead as a Sauropodomorph?
2-Why Deltadromeus and Gualicho as Noasaurs?
3-Why Acrocathosaurus as a Neovenator instead of a Carcharodontosaur?

Random comment: Eoraptor continuing its trend of being a wildcard in the Dinosaur classification, changing every time between sauropodomorph, Theropod or more basal them both.
