==Baron / Norman / Barrett classification== In 2017 Matthew G. Baron and his colleagues published a new analysis proposing to put Theropoda (except Herrerasauridae) and Ornithischia within a group called Ornithoscelida (a name originally coined by [[Thomas Henry Huxley]] in 1870), redefining Saurischia to cover Sauropodomorpha and Herrerasauridae. Amongst other things this would require [[Hypercarnivore|hypercarnivory]] to have evolved independently for Theropoda and Herrerasauridae.<ref> {{cite journal |last1 = Baron |first1 = M.G. |last2 =N orman |first2 = D.B. |last3 = Barrett |first3 = P.M. |year = 2017 |title = A new hypothesis of dinosaur relationships and early dinosaur evolution |journal = [[Nature (journal)|Nature]] |volume = 543 |issue = 7646 |pages = 501–506 |doi=10.1038/nature21700 |pmid=28332513 |bibcode=2017Natur.543..501B |s2cid=187506290 |url=http://eprints.esc.cam.ac.uk/3857/2/Supplementary%20Information%20_%20MGB%20_%20DBN%20_%20PMB.pdf |via=eprints.esc.cam.ac.uk }} </ref><ref> {{cite web | last = Naish | first=Darren | date = 22 March 2017 | title = Ornithoscelida rises: A new family tree for dinosaurs | website = [[Scientific American]] | department = Tetrapod Zoology | type = blog | url = https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/ornithoscelida-rises-a-new-family-tree-for-dinosaurs/ | access-date = 24 March 2017 |url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230303183619/https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/ornithoscelida-rises-a-new-family-tree-for-dinosaurs/ | archive-date = 2023-03-03 |df = dmy-all }} </ref> This scheme is currently debated among palaeontologists, with recent studies finding little difference between the traditional and newly proposed models.<ref> {{cite journal |last1 = Langer |first1 = Max C. |last2 = Ezcurra |first2 = Martín D. |last3 = Rauhut |first3 = Oliver W.M. |last4 = Benton |first4 = Michael J. |last5 = Knoll |first5 = Fabien |last6 = McPhee |first6 = Blair W. |last7 = Novas |first7 = Fernando E. |last8 = Pol |first8 = Diego |last9 = Brusatte |first9 = Stephen L. |display-authors = 6 |year = 2017 |title = Untangling the dinosaur family tree |journal = [[Nature (journal)|Nature]] |volume = 551 |issue = 7678 |pages = E1–E3 |bibcode = 2017Natur.551E...1L |s2cid = 205260354 |doi = 10.1038/nature24011 |pmid = 29094688 |hdl = 1983/d088dae2-c7fa-4d41-9fa2-aeebbfcd2fa3 |url = https://research-information.bristol.ac.uk/ws/files/136903911/Langer_et_al._reply_to_Baron_et_al._mjb.pdf |via = research-information.bristol.ac.uk }} </ref><ref> {{cite journal |last1 = Baron |first1 = Matthew G. |last2 = Norman |first2 = David B. |last3 = Barrett |first3 = Paul M. |year = 2017 |title = Baron et al. reply |journal=[[Nature (journal)|Nature]] |volume = 551 |issue = 7678 |pages = E4–E5 |bibcode = 2017Natur.551E...4B |pmid = 29094705 |doi = 10.1038/nature24012 |s2cid = 205260360 }} </ref> *'''Dinosauria''' ** [[Ornithoscelida]] *** [[Ornithischia]] *** [[Theropoda]] ** [[Saurischia]] *** [[Sauropodomorpha]] *** [[Herrerasauridae]]
