Talk:Proceratosaurus

Type
Uh, guys? The article cites Proceratosaurus as a tyrannosauroid. However, Dougal Dixon's World Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures lists it as a carnosaur! Who is correct? And yes, Dixon is as precise with the term "carnosaur" as we are. 70.80.215.121 (talk) 11:21, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Adam70.80.215.121 (talk) 11:21, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Proceratosaurus has been moved around a lot, but Carnosauria is almost certainly incorrect. According to several 2010 papers (and the Paleobiology Database) Proceratosaurus is the type taxon of the Proceratosauridae, a family of the Tyrannosauroidea. The Dinosauria states that P. bradleyi is "known only from a single incomplete skull", so I'm not sure the new family name will ever become widely used, but the Wikipedia article appears to be correct (although the citation could be updated).
