A competing online cladogram (www.ReptileEvolution.com/reptile-tree.htm) indicates that each of the 13 Solhnofen birds and pre-birds is unique and not congeneric with the Archaeopteryx holotype. Several nest at the base of Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous bird clades.

Strict consensus trees based on a sample of equally parsimonious trees is still the standard in palaeophylogenetics. However, given the result of this analysis, unknown amount of inferred (12,000+ steps-long) MPTs, a CI approx 0, i.e. essentially all scored traits are homoplasious, synapomorphies very rare, and a RI = 0.59, the taxon-pruned (for hand-selected rogues) strict consensus tree cannot e...
