Reference for Dinosauria definition
Anybody--
I need the citation to the earliest article in which Dinosauria is defined as
the clade formed by the most recent common ancestor of Triceratops and
Neornithes and all its descendants. This definition appears in Sereno 1998
(N. Jb. Geol. Palaeont. Abh. 210(1): 41-83) but he doesn't cite earlier
works. I was under the impression that this exact definition occurs earler,
in Padian & Holtz 1995 (or vice versa) or Padian & May 1993, but my copies of
these are buried and I can't check them. Or is Sereno the first to publish
this definition?
