Question for the DML: Most Cited Papers

I'm passing along this query from Christophe Hendrickx (not on the DML list but who monitors the DML archive). I've been mulling over the best way to find this information, and how far back the references are supposed to go. I'm assuming from the 1970s Dinosaur Renaissance onward would make the most sense, although Ostrom's 1961 Âmonograph on hadrosaurs Â(Cranial morphology of the hadrosaurian dinosaurs of North America. Bulletin of the AMNH 122) would likely qualify.Â

What is the most cited paper for each of these groups:

- non-avian dinosaurs
- non-avian theropods
- sauropodomorphs
- ornithopods
- thyreophorans Â
- marginocephalans
