Taxonomic update

edit

The identification of Microdontosaurus as a melanorosaurid is due to Olshevsky (1991), but there is no justification for this identification. Moreover, Microdontosaurus Zhao, 1983 is pre-occupied by Microdontosaurus Gilmore, 1902. See http://theropoddatabase.blogspot.com/2011/01/microdontosaurus-zhaos-nomina-nuda-part.html for more information. Can you please update the article accordingly?

Gilmore, 1902. Discovery of teeth in Baptanodon, an ichthyosaurian from the Jurassic of Wyoming. Science. 16(414), 913-914. 68.4.61.237 (talk) 01:08, 12 January 2011 (UTC)Vahe DemirjianReply
