Open Dinosaur Project Update: Help Needed With the Phylogeny



We're going to do some phylogenetically-informed analyses for the Open Dinosaur Project, but need to have a working cladogram first. I have a good head-start, but there are still some problematic taxa that need to be placed. Input from DML members is welcome - and any assistance will be credited in the resulting paper.

Thank you to the individuals who helped with sorting out the specimen ages; there are just a handful left, which you can read about here:

This little project is shaping up quite nicely, and I think we'll have some interesting (and original) things to say about dinosaur evolution!

Best,

Andy
