Favourite dinosaur category

Carno amphibians are not dinosaurs. Mine is carnivore A.K.A Theropods.

Also pteranodons are flying reptiles.

concur with Shiro

XD.

yeah Pterosaurs might be ornithodira archosaurs like Dinosaurs but they themselves are not dinosaurs.

Theropods have to be my favorite as well particularly early theropods and members of coelurosauria (basically Tyrannosaurus, Compsognathus, Therizinosaurus, Gallamimus, Shuvuuia, Oviraptor, Velociraptors, Troodon, and Birds)

CARNOFTW - What a very fun topic! My favorite category is Theropod (carnivores)! :)

scientists class pteradons as a sub category of dino

"scientists class pteradons as a sub category of dino"

No they don't, the classify them as Pterosaurs which like dinosaurs are members of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avemetatarsalia

also known as Ornithodira

Also the Pterosaurs, Marine reptiles and Dinosaurs may have the same ancestor Archosaur yet evolution split them into different branches. As Xeno said, they are completely different creatures them alone.

the only marine reptile that wasn't an archosaur is the Mosasaurus which is a lepidosaurus (the group that contains snakes and lizards) and the Mesosaurus (basal protoreptiles)

Oh thanks.

Whatever floats your boat 

XD ok

"Whatever floats your boat "

No its not whatever floats my boat, when your talking about dinosaurs you need to get your information right. Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs, they are close relative to dinosaurs as in they share a common ancestors, amphibians are definitely not dinosaurs either since they are not even part of the clade Amniote let alone memers of Sauropsids - Diapsids - Suria - Archosauromorph - Archosauria - Avemetatarsalia - Ornithodira - Dinosauromorpha - Dinosauriformes.

Marine Reptiles are a funny classification since aquatic lifestyles as evolved at least three or four times in reptiles: the basal reptile parareptilia Mesosaurs, the basal diapsid marine reptiles which possibly lead to the evolution of Ichthyosaurs, the archosaurian marine reptiles like certain crocodilians, semi-aquatic dinosaurian Spinosaurus, plesiosaurus and pliosaurus, and lepidosaurian marine reptiles like Mosasaurus, marine iguana, and the sea snake.

Xenotaris,

Your knowledge of dinosaur evolution is extensive, and goes very deep--but sometimes you can let people have their fun with mispronunciations and inaccuracies. Trust me, if I spent my days on the forum fixing the wrong that people set about dinosaurs--I would come off as a jerk most likely, and a know-it-all.

Not saying you are any of those things, you're awesome--but sometimes just let people have their fun. I mean there are some people on the forum that call T.rex, T-Rex still--and others who believe an Allosaurus could defeat a Giganotosaurus and stuff like that. There are quite a few who legitimately believe that Spinosaurus is stronger than T.rex, so--sometimes you gotta just take a step back and let the people be the people lol.

okay

Oh and Xenotaris I am sorry I was wrong about what I wrote but what I meant to say was which do you prefer form the prehistoric era carnivores, herbivores, amphibians or pterosaurs and I live next to a scientist who for research purposes classes pterosaurs as a sub-order of dino so yeah.

Oh and wikipeadia is full of some serious horse s**t as anybody can write on it 

Carno i won't report you BUT...if you swear again i'll have too.

Oh and Xenotaris no offence but I t seems like you just copy and pasted everything you said.

Stop making fun of him Carno -_-...

I'm not I don't know why it posted twice it always does that 

I didn't copy Wikipedia, I have tons of Dinosaur, Prehistoric Life, and Evolution books and I watch Dinosaur documentaries! They clearly state that Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs!

Also wikipedia has become reliable in recent years

I could give you my personal biblography, if you want

Carno everybody knows pterosaurs are not dinosaurs--no need to facilitate conspiracies to support a fraudulent belief. Shiro, you seem to get worried or something whenever anything gets slightly heated--and considering how much you and LT curse, cursing is not banned on the forum.

Oh ok thanks...but i don't like seeing people fighting.

^Neither do I. But I'm watching things, GET BACK TO DA EMPIRE!!!

I'm an ugly Minilla *cry cry cry*

"[...]favourite category of dino is carnivore, herbivore, pteradons or amphibians"

Just like someone else said, pterosaurs and amphibians are not dinosaurs. Amphibians aren't reptiles at all.

"Oh and wikipeadia is full of some serious horse s**t as anybody can write on it"

That's why it has administrators.

"Oh and Xenotaris no offence but I t seems like you just copy and pasted everything you said"

At least he did some research.

Mate my neighbour is a renowned scientist where I live he studied paleontology and paleobiolgy at Oxford university so there  

Ok then Xenotaris lets see your personal bibliography 

And wikipeadia is not reliable I was looking at the Austeyr F88 doubt many if you will know what that is when I saw that it said that the F88 was a US army ranger/Delta force assault shotgun but the F88 is an assault rifle so yeah

Yes, whats your renown paleontologist neighbor's name?

I said he is renown where I live as in he is s very well trusted and nice guy but I live in then English countryside he's not really my neighbour as we both live of farms but he is a bout three kilometres down the road his name Allen Dundry he is about 87 yrs old.

Well he isn't among the these guys and some of the guys that wrote my books are on that linked webpage. So did Allen Dundry wrote any dinosaurs books I could buy?
