Pterosauromorpha
Extinct clade of reptiles / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pterosauromorpha (meaning "pterosaur-like forms") is one of the two basic divisions of Ornithodira that includes pterosaurs and all taxa that are closer to them than to dinosaurs and their close relatives (i.e. Dinosauromorpha).[2][3] In addition to pterosaurs, Pterosauromorpha also includes the basal clade Lagerpetidae and some other Late Triassic ornithodirans (Maehary and Scleromochlus).[4][5][6][7]
