Preoccupied Names

The preoccupied names Megadactylus and Amphisaurus really should be referred to the originals, rather than being redirects to this page. CFLeon (talk) 17:44, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I don't even know what the originals were. The first is probably an arthropod (-dactylus ending; besides, if there's a preoccupied dinosaur name, 9 times out of 10 it's an arthropod), the second is probably a lizard or a snake. If you can dig something up on them, help yourself. J. Spencer (talk) 02:09, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nova Scotia Anchisaurus

The sauropodomorph remains from Nova Scotia reported Shubin et. al. (1994) are not conspecific with any of the specimens of Anchisaurus and instead represents a new genus and species of massospondylid (Fedak 2007). This taxon has yet to be officially named, but differs from Anchisaurus in having very elongate cervicals, a sacrum that incorporates both a dorsal and a caudal, among other differences.
