Talk:Gastornis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello everybody, for me Gastornis and Diatryma are two different species of preistorical birds as you can see here: [1] if you have other sources, please report it. Thank you --Gaetanogambilonghi 10:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Here's a source stating that they are probably congeneric [2]. It does reccomend more study be done to confirm this, but I'm not sure how old it is and if such a study was later performed. I think one comprimise here, since there is some uncertainty, would be to use one article for both Gastornis and Diatryma, fixing the taxobox so it refers to the family Gastornithidae rather than the genus Gastornis (to which Gastornithidae redirects anyway).Dinoguy2 13:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- The BSC-EOC link is not reliable, it jumbles together certainly invalid taxa ("Cathyornithiformes" or "Graculavidae" for example). Dysmorodrepanis 04:41, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I really think it's best that Gastornis and Diatryma are seperate. They could just be subspecies, and I really don't find it nessecary. I'd be like having Asian lion redirect to Lion, even though they are seperate animals. --67.162.31.74 01:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No room in the inn
There was no room for this picture without making the article look rubbish, so I've placed it here until the article can be expanded... Thanks, Spawn Man 09:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
