Talk:Plesiosaurus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the process for merging data? I missed Plesiosaur when I created this page.  :( It seems (to me) that the scientific name is more appropriate for a title, so this would be the primary page. How would you fix links to the other page??? Nodosaurus 22:04, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I moved the content to Plesiosaur and shall move this Discussion there too. Plesiosaurus will remain as a link, so nothing is lost. (Compare entry Mosasaur, which includes other genera.) --Wetman 22:22, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Status of Plesiosaurus tournemirensis

Plesiosaurus tournemirensis Sciau et al., 1990 has now been given its own genus, Occitanosaurus Bardet et al., 1999. Thus, it is NOT a junior synonym of Plesiosaurus guilelmiimperatoris Dames, 1895.

feel free to edit the page accordingly! Maybe a page for Occitanosaurus would be in order as well (I notice all the dinosaur genera names have at least stubs, why not the same for the Sauropterygia?  ;-)) M Alan Kazlev 21:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
