"I THINK THIS ONE CAME FROM SOUTH EAST
ASIA"
"WELL EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE METATARSLAS ARE YOUR FOOT BONES"
"AND "ARCTOS" MEANS NORTH."
"I THINK YOU MEANT TO SAY "ARCTOMETATARSALIAN PES.""
"I WON'T TRY TO GUESS BECAUSE THE ODDS OF ME GETTING IT WRONG ARE
QUITE HIGH."
China to be presice.
Well, only well educated people do here.
Actually, in "Arctometearsalia" the "Arcto" comes from the latin word
"arctus" meaning compressed. That make sense, being the
Arctometarsalian condition is the proximall pinch of the third
metatarsal in beetween the second and fourth metatarsal.
Nope, I didn't. The Arctometartarsalia as first defined by Holtz in
1994 was supposed to be the first dinosaur with the
Arctometartarsalian condition, and all of its descendants which would
in that case consist of the
Bullatosauria(Troodontidae+Ornithomisauria), the Tyranosauridae, the
Elmisauridae(a.k.a Caegnathidae), and Avimimus. But Holtz soon
realized that an apomorphy based definition would be unstable because
the condition was also found in Monokyus, Elmisaurs are more closely
related to Oviraptorids then they are to the other Arctometartarsalian
therepods, and Avimimus might be several different taxa. So he
redifined Arctometartarsalia as a stem based taxon comprising of
Ornithomimus and all therepods closer to it than to birds. Therefore
the Arctometartarsalia consists primarily of the Bullatosauria and the
Tyrannosauridae.(Yes, Tyrannosaurs are more closely related to
Troodontids than Dromeosaurs are)

"Here is a trivia question.
Which one of these dinos were found in Africa?
A. Tescelosaurus <-- USA I THINK
B. Majungatholus <-- THIS ONE WAS FOUND IN MADAGASCAR, CLOSEST TO
AFRICA THAN WHERE I THINK THE OTHERS WHERE FOUND.
Good Luck
I'll try and get people to come back to this forum: here's some
trivia!
C. Beipiaosaurus <-- I THINK THIS ONE CAME FROM SOUTH EAST ASIA.

1. What is the definition of the Arctometartarsalia. WELL EVERYONE
KNOWS THAT THE METATARSLAS ARE YOUR FOOT BONES, (WELL MAYBE NOT IN
THIS COUNTRY, NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE,) AND "ARCTOS" MEANS NORTH. I THINK
YOU MEANT TO SAY "ARCTOMETATARSALIAN PES." THE FOOT ABOVE THE
METATARSALS. THE TARSALAS, BASICALLY. YOUR ANKLE. DOES IT INCLUDE THE
CALCANEUM IN THIS CASE?
2. When did Cope establish the Archosauria. I WON'T TRY TO GUESS
BECAUSE THE ODDS OF ME GETTING IT WRONG ARE QUITE HIGH.
Good luck."

"3 people?"
Yup.
1) You're 11 on 16th March.
That's three.
2) Tom; his day is 17th March.
3) Joe Bob is apparently "almost 11" as well.

Ah, come on people! This forum's overgrown
with spider webs!
"almost 11" That's three people who are almost eleven on this site
then. So when's your day Joe Bob?
And don't expect new episodes of my story to come out really often
because I rarely have the time to write more.

"Umm... Is anyone here?"
We're all here, I check out this forum every day in case someone
decides to start a discussion! C'mon! WE NEED a topic! And don't look
at me. I like arguing but I'm not good at coming up with... wait a
sec!
I have this THEORY that some paleontologist or something else may have
come up with ages ago but I've come up with it now so there!
I reckon that all ornithischian dinosaurs became from saurischians!
The first dinos where saurischian, herrerasurs, prosauropods, and the
plant eating ornithischians (yes, I know that all orniths are
herbivores!!!) developed from them! Their pubis just moved back to
accomodate a larger gut used to digest tough plant
food!
