Gigantic cladogram

It is way too large and detailed. Since the new subfamily is basal, there is absolutely no need to list every genus in the other subfamilies. So just list the subfamilies. FunkMonk (talk) 11:39, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, so I removed almost all of the unnecessary taxa. The images were removed as well but they are not really important until we have more written about comparisons to relatives. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 01:34, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eggs?

"like all dinosaurs, it needed to lay its eggs on land" - is that true? How did aquatic dinosaurs lay eggs on land? 2601:647:4203:CA11:853C:EDD7:5C03:EF47 (talk) 02:35, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By walking or sliding onto land, since no fully aquatic dinosaurs are known. Lusotitan (Talk | Contributions) 02:44, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ooooh OK, I didn't know that "There were many aquatic reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs, including plesiosaurs, nothosaurs, and mosasaurs. (pronounced plee-zee-oh-SAWRS) Plesiosaurs (meaning "near lizard") were flippered marine reptiles from the Mesozoic Era - they were not dinosaurs.". Thanks for the education! 171.66.209.130 (talk) 18:51, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
