"They constitute an evolutionary grade of animals..." This is vague and doesn't transmit information. Can't it be dropped, so that the sentence reads "They constitute a "wastebin taxon" for any archosaur that wasn't a crocodilian..." --Wetman 05:49, 23 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Sure. But they also constitute a paraphyletic "grade" - so one could say a wastebin taxon of Basal Archosaurs M Alan Kazlev 01:16, 24 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

If paleontologists existed in the mid-triassic, then thecodontia would be a legitimate clade and synonymous to archosauriformes.--94.65.90.244 (talk) 01:43, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thecodont vs thecodontia

Should this page be moved to thecodontia in order to make room for a short page on thecodont dentition? The latter is not taxonomy, but rather just defines the anatomy - mammals and crocs both have thecodont dentition, for instance. Mokele (talk) 23:03, 24 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Good idea! Petter Bøckman (talk) 13:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
