Re: [dinosaur] Taxonomy clear up

Ben Creisler

A quick check indicates that Cope 1869 is the correct author for Iguanodontidae.Â

first use of Iguanodontidae

Iguanodontidae Cope, 1869

https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/39874206#page/101/mode/1up

====

Here is a link to Dollo 1888. The family name Iguanodontidae is used but not the higher category Iguanodontia, which is not covered by the ICZN rules.

Iguanodontia is not mentioned:

Dollo, L. (1888) Iguanodontidae et Camptonotidae. Comptes Rendus hebdomadaires de l'Academie des Sciences, Paris, CVI, 775â777.

Baur 1891 appears to be the correct ref as Iguanodontia Baur, 1891:

The Sereno dates simply apply to the first uses in phylogenetic taxonomy.

I don't have access to the Dollo's "Iguanodontidae et Camptonotidae" (the source for the Dollo 1888 reference).

Baur was clearly under the impression that he was coming up with a new name in his 1891 paper:Âhttps://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdfplus/10.1086/275329

But tracking down Dollo would be a good thing.

Hi all. Among the many papers describing iguandontian taxa there is no consensus who is the appropriate author of Iguandontia.

Attributions range from Dollo, 1888 to Baur 1891, to Sereno, 1986 or 1998.

Can anyone figure this out?

Thanks,
