Ankylopoda

Ankylopoda is a proposed clade that contains turtles and lepidosaurs (tuatara, lizards and snakes) and their fossil relatives. This clade is supported based on microRNAs as well as the fossil record. However, it is strongly contradicted by molecular evidence which supports Archelosauria.
