Cited by genera

• Asylosaurus

  Rejects each of the three autapomorphies proposed for Asylosaurus and considers it a taxon of highly questionable validity.

• Pantydraco

  Finds poor anatomical support for separating Pantydraco from Thecodontosaurus antiquus and suggests it might be a juvenile of that species, without making a formal synonymy.

• Thecodontosaurus

  Redescribes the species from over 1,000 Tytherington bones, revises its diagnosis and rejects earlier diagnostic characters, and dates the localities to the Rhaetian.
