Considering that Dinosauria is part of the class Archosauria, shouldn't Saurischia be part of this same class instead of Reptilia? DarthVader 09:54, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

- Agreed, Class Archosauria seems to be standard across the dinosaur entries. Fixing this and the mis-spell of Aves as "Avis" in the taxobox. Dinoguy2 02:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Visible
Is it possible to see the different types of hips reflected in external form or stance?
- The main visible difference in life would have been the size of the "gut"--the back-pointing pubis of ornithischians (and also herbivorous theropods) allowed for a longer digestive track and a longer belly. The more anterior center of gravity created by this may be why so many ornithischians were quadrupeds.Dinoguy2 23:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
