Talk:Labidosaurus

Labidosaurus´ jaws were NOT equipped with multiple tooth rows but with single tooth rows and this is known for more than 100 years !!! About the half of the known captorhinid genera did not have multiple tooth rows! I doubt that The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals refers particularly to the genus Labidosaurus. If so, the informations given therein are wrong. Furthermore, Reisz et al. (2011) do NOT say anything about herbivory in Labidosaurus! They just say, that Labidosaurus belongs to a clade, in which tooth replacement is highly reduced an that this reduced tooth replacement gave way to the development of multiple tooth rows (which is considered to be connected to herbivory) in forms closely related to Labidosaurus!

I have changed the entry accordingly and have removed The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals as reference. Apparently this book is not an appropriate source with reference to the genus Labidosaurus.
