Plateosauridae

Panoramic view of Plateosaurus engelhardti skeletons "Skelett 1" (left) and "Skelett 2" (right, collection number GPIT/RE/7288) from Trossingen, Germany, on exhibit at the museum of the Institute for Geosciences of the Eberhard-Karls-University Tübingen, Germany. "Skelett 2" is a nearly complete individual, "Skelett 1" is a composite from 2 individuals. Mounts created under the direction of Friedrich von Huene. This is a panoramic image created from several photographs, and thus has unusual visible and invisible edge distortions.

Strict reduced consensus at the genus level of the most parsimonious trees recovered following the phylogenetic analysis. The original dataset is based on the matrix and scorings of Zhang et al. 2019 (except for Irisosaurus) and includes 62 taxa for 364 characters. This reduced consensus displays 39 taxa. It is based on 2 MPTs of 1,300 steps each (CI = 0.33, RI = 0.69). Dashed lines mean that the exact age of the genus is uncertain. Clades: 1, Sauropodomorpha; 2, Plateosauridae; 3, Massopoda; 4, Massospondylidae; 5, Riojasauridae; 6, Sauropodiformes; 7, Lessemsauridae.
