are particulary interesting in osteology, they share some
lepidosauromorph characters like the Advanced Mesotarsal ankle joint. >
You`re sure you want to stick with this one??? I`ve heard that the AM ankle
was a defining Characteristic of the Ornithodirans, (ie. Dinosaurs,
Pterosaurs, Birds, Lagosuchus, Herrerasauridae). Never heard of Lepidosaurs
being in that group!
