Dinosaur Tree is re-written

This is big news for all Dinosaur buffs, becasue everything we thoght we knew about dinosaurs has been renderd obsolte, so any book on the subject written in the past 130 years has become inaccurate

For years, Dinosaurs have been placed into to groups

Saurischians

And ornithischians

The Sariscians dinosaurs contain Theropods and Sauropods, while Ornithiscians contained Ornithopods, Thyreophorans (Armourd and plated), and Marginocephalians(Ceratospsinas, and Bone heads) as well as small Bipedal plant eaters.



However, a ground breaking new study has suggested that this way of grouping dinosaurs was wrong.It turns out, Theropods dinosaurs are more related to the Ornithipods, Thyreophorans and Marginocephalians, then they were to sauropods. and thus ornithischia is scrapped, in favoru of a (actully not so new name) Orniscelidia.

here is my favorite article on the issue
