Dilophosaurus is similar to other large Early Jurassic theropods, such as Dracovenator from South Africa, Sarcosaurus from England, Sinosaurus from China, and Cryolophosaurus from Antarctica. Some of these might form a clade called Dilophosauridae. 2/3 https://t.co/WAN6eTzQa8
@TomHoltzPaleo @palaeotaku My preference instead of Diplodocus is Plateosaurus: known for a lot of specimens, named in 1837 so even before Dinosauria was named, and "iconic" sauropodomorph. I used it in the emended definition of Dinosauria in the Saltriovenator paper https://t.co/k90cIRBLs4
Saltriovenator Zanellai. The oldest ceratosaurian (Dinosauria: Theropoda), from the Lower Jurassic of Italy, sheds light on the evolution of the three-fingered hand of birds”. https://t.co/6yU8Dwf4G8
