Systematik der Dinosaurier

Evolution der Dinosaurier

Die Dinosaurier sind ein Taxon der Archosaurier innerhalb der Reptilien (Reptilia). Gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwestergruppe, den Flugsauriern (Pterosauria), bilden sie das Taxon der Ornithodira. Diese Systematik der Dinosaurier wurde nach den unter Literatur, Einzelnachweise und Weblinks aufgeführten Quellen erstellt.

In einer phylogenetischen Studie aus dem Jahr 2017, basierend auf der detaillierten Analyse von 74 Taxa und 457 Merkmalen, schlagen die Paläontologen Matthew G. Baron, David B. Norman und Paul M. Barrett eine neue Systematik vor, die den Dinosaurier-Stammbaum radikal verändert.[1][2][3][4] Demnach bestehen die Dinosaurier aus den beiden Entwicklungslinien Saurischia und Ornithoscelida. In der Klade Ornithoscelida (gr. skelis=Bein), die Thomas Henry Huxley bereits 1880 so benannt hatte,[5] werden die Vogelbeckensaurier und die Theropoden als Schwestergruppen vereint. Die Klade Saurischia wird neu definiert und umfasst die beiden Schwestergruppen Sauropodomorpha und Herrerasauridae:

  Dinosauria  
  Saurischia  

 Herrerasauridae


   

 Sauropodomorpha



  Ornithoscelida  

 Ornithischia


   

 Theropoda

A hypothetical life restoration of Argentinosaurus huinculensis, a titanosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina, pencil drawing, digital coloring

• Based proportionally on skeletal reconstructions of Argentinosaurus by spinoinwonderland and randomdinos on DeviantArt[1][2] and other titanosaur reconstructions found online. This image is somewhat hypothetical as Argentinosaurus isn't known from complete remains; some of the proportions shown here, such as the neck, tail, forelimb length, and skull shape, are not certain and could be subject to change should more fossil material be found. The missing parts are inspired primarily by the more complete Patagotitan.
• Osteroderms are not yet known in Argentinosaurus. Osteoderms are known from at least 10 titanosaur genera spread across the family tree, including a relative Medozasaurus, but it's not clear if all titanosaurs had them.[3][4] Titanosaur osteoderms are rare and their layout and position on the body are not certain. The position and layout of the osteoderms have been loosely based on this interpretation, which is based on the work of Vidal et al 2015.[5][6]
• The colours and patterns, as with the majority of all prehistoric animal reconstructions, are speculative.

• Based Proportionally on Scott Hartman's skeletal drawing. [1]
• Three specimens of Ornithomimus preserve evidence of feathers, including evidence of pennaceous feathers on the arms. [1] An additional Ornithomimus specimen suggests that the skin lacked feathers on the lower parts of the thigh and under the tail. [2] This image goes under the assumption that Gallimimus were also covered in feathers.
• The colours and/or patterns, as with nearly all reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.

Sketch of the hadrosaurid Parasaurolophus in tetrapod or quadrupedal pose, anatomically correct. Made by Tim Bekaert, 2006.

Like other hadrosaurs, Parasaurolophus was facultatively bipedal, i.e. they could alternate between two legs and four, probably preferring a quadrupedal gait while they foraged for food and assuming a bipedal mode for faster running.
