Anchisauria

The Anchisauria were a clade of sauropodomorph dinosaurs that lived from the Late Triassic to the Late Cretaceous in North America, Africa, and South America. The name Anchisauria was first used by Galton and Upchurch in the second edition of The Dinosauria. Galton and Upchurch assigned two families of dinosaurs to the Anchisauria: the Anchisauridae and the Melanorosauridae. The more common prosauropods Plateosaurus and Massospondylus were placed in the sister clade Plateosauria. The following cladogram simplified after an analysis presented by Blair McPhee and colleagues in 2014.
