What animal group did the spinosaurus belong to?
Spinosaurus was a genus in the family Spinosauridae. Spinosauridae belonged to the clades, in order from smallest to largest, Megalosauria, Orionides, Tetanurae, Averostra, and Neotheropoda. Neotheropoda was the clade that included most species belonging to the Theropoda clade, which in turn belonged to the Eusaurischia clade of the order Saurischia, also known as the lizard hipped dinosaurs. Saurischia belonged to the Dinosauria superorder, and Dinosauria belonged to the Archosauria clade of the Crurotarsi clade. In turn, Crurotarsi belonged to the class Reptilia. Reptiles belong to the subphylum Chordata, phylum vertebrata, and finally the kingdom Animalia.
How was the triceratops classified?

Taxonomically speaking, all dinosaurs belonged to the class Reptilia and the clade Dinosauria.Triceratops' taxonomy proceeds as follows:Domain: EukaryoteKingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClass: Reptilia-Sub-class: DinosauriaOrder: OrnithischiaFamily: CeratopsidaeGenus: TriceratopsSpecies: T. horridus
What does transitional mean?
In the context of palaeontology, calling a fossil a 'transitional form' means that it's morphologically intermediate between a basal clade and a specific derived clade. Meaning that the shapes of its bones are such as would be expected from a descendant of the basal clade that is also ancestral to the derived clade.
How is a crocdile related to a dinosaur?
The smallest clade that envelops both dinosaurs (including birds) and crocodiles is Archosauria. This clade first emerged between 260 and 250 million years ago.
What are characteristics that are shared by members of a clade and only by members of that clade?

What is the complete classification of a triceratop?
The genus is Triceratops, and there were two species, Triceratops horridus and Triceratops prorsus. The genus Triceratops belongs to the tribe Triceratopsini, which belongs to the family Ceratopsidae. The family Ceratopsidae belongs to the suborder Ceratopsia. All horned, herbivorous dinosaurs belonged to Ceratopsia. Ceratopsia was a division of the clade Marginocephalia, which also includes the pachycephalosaurs. Marginocephalia belongs to the order Ornithischia, which includes all bird-hipped dinosaurs. Ornithischia belongs to the clade Dinosauria. In order from smallest group to largest group, Dinosauria belongs to Dinosauriformes, Dinosauromorpha, Ornithodira, Archosauria, Crurotarsi, Archosauriformes, Archosauromorpha, Sauria, Neodiapsida, Diapsida, Romeriida, Eureptilia, and finally Sauropsida. Sauropsida is a clade belonging to the class Reptilia, which belongs to the clade Amniota, then the clade Tetrapoda, Teleostomi, Eugnathostomata, and then Gnathostomata. Gnathostomata belongs to the subphylum Vertebrata, the phylum Chordata, and the kingdom Animalia.
The taxonomy group of sampaguita?
The scientific classification of sampaguita is: Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Tracheophytes Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Eudicots Clade: Asterids Order: Gentianales Family: Rubiaceae Genus: Jasminum Species: Jasminum sambac
What is the difference between a taxon and a clade in biological classification?
A taxon is a group of organisms classified together based on shared characteristics, while a clade is a group of organisms that includes an ancestor and all of its descendants. In other words, a taxon can be a broader category that may not include all descendants, while a clade represents a specific evolutionary lineage.
Do dinosaurs have bones?
Because they are closely related. Specifically, birds are dinosaurs belonging to the clade Maniraptora (alongside such dinosaurs as Velociraptor and Deinonychus), within the clade Coelurosauria. There are hundreds of skeletal similarities between birds and their maniraptoran relatives. One would expect closely related animals to show such similarities in their skeletons (and other features), just as our skeletons betray our kinship with the great apes, and primates in general.
