I'm against calling the Linnean categorization by 'scientific classification'. This implies it is the accepted scientific norm. In fact, cladistics is becoming more and more prevalent, and that is what I would expect to see in a category of 'scientific classification'.

New page for Hierosaurus

With respect to Hierosaurus, this genus should be redirected to its own page because it was once considered a synonym of Nodosaurus but is now considered a nomen dubium as per Carpenter et al. (1995). In any case, Hierosaurus was found in deposits younger than the only specimen of Nodosaurus, and is clearly not Nodosaurus. As a matter of fact, the interrelationships of Middle and Late Cretaceous nodosaurids have yet to be addressed in future papers.
