[edit]


This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: On the advice of MWAK I made some changes to this diagram:
  • Removed colours of the clades. I know of no colouring system used in cladistics in such a way. Changed colours of geochronologic units to official colours.
  • Birds are now part of the Theropoda
  • Put Maniraptora in a more basal position, changed the name in the balloon to Deinonychosauria
  • Presented Ceratosauria as a sister group, not a basal group of the Theropoda
  • Made Prosauropoda and Sauropoda sister groups instead of presenting the first as the ancestors of the second
  • Removed the suggestion that the Sauropoda declined in importance during the Cretaceous
  • Made the Heterodontosauridae the first group to split off the main branch of the Ornithischia
  • Merged Hadrosauridae, Iguanodontidae and Hypsilophodontidae into one group: Euornithopoda. The first two are paraphyletic anyway.
  • Merged Psittacosauridae and Ceratop(s)ia. The first is part of the second group.
  • Added the names of the basal groups Cerapoda and Genasauria

Explanation: MWAK argued the diagram originally uploaded by Zureks (based on a Polish encyclopaedia) contains outdated views and also plain mistakes. We think this version is better in line with current cladistic views on Dinosaur evolution.. The original can be viewed here: Evolution of dinosaurs by Zureks.svg. Modifications made by Woudloper.
