Alwalkeria's phylogenetic position
[edit]Paul Sereno, in the 1990s, showed the herrarasaurids to be basal saurischians. Therefore change the classification to show that Alwalkeria is in the Herrarasauridae but is outside the Theropoda.
- Alwalkeria isn't a herrerasaurid. And in any case, Sereno thinks they are theropods. More recent studies have suggested they may be basal saurischians. Read the text of the article, there is a short explanation. Sheep81 22:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Alwalkeria, a chimera
[edit]Remes and Rauhut (2005) demonstrated that Alwalkeria is a chimera. While the dinosaurian remains represent a basal saurischian and belong to Alwalkeria, the non-dinosaurian remains belong to an unnamed crocodylomorph. Therefore, update the Alwalkeria page.

- A lectotype must be chosen, otherwise the name is just a nomen vanum.--MWAK (talk) 07:30, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
