sauropods & ornithischian relationship

[Don Squires <pp000723@interramp.com>]

The sauropod dinosaurs and their prosauropod kin are classified in the same 
suborder as theropods, i.e., saurischia. Is this classification based only on 
the 
shape of the hip?

Is it possible that the sauropodamorpha are more closely related to the other 
herbivorous dinosaurs classified as ornithischians than to theropods? I seem to 
recall reading this somewhere.

This is a great list especially for an amateur paleontologist like me who is an 
accountant in real life. Keep up the fine postings.
