 
      Phylogeny of Archosauria (including Aves)
       
          Although the term is often used for any large, extinct " 
            reptilian" animal, including swimming (Phytosaurs) and
          flying (Pterosaurs) forms, true Dinosauria comprises
          only two entirely terrestrial clades, the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") and Saurischia
          ("lizard-hipped")
            dinosaurs, as well as Aves (Birds).
      Hip
          structures in Aves and Ornithischia are analogous, not
          homologous*. Modern avian birds are
        more closely related to saurischian dinosaurs (such as
        quadrupedal Apatosaurus and
        bipedal Tyrannosaurus) than to ornithischian 
        dinosaurs (such as quadrupedal
       Triceratops) & bipedal 
        Pachycephalosaurus).

            Sherwood Romer reminds us, "Student: You said
          that before. Romer: Yes, but you had forgotten it. Student:
          Not a bit of it. Romer: Very well, let's continue."
