[edit] Dinosaur or pterosaur?

I know Ornithodesmus has been classified as a bird, pterosaur and a troodontid dinosaur, and that it's certainly not a bird, but I'm not sure whether it is considered a dinosaur or a pterosaur now. With the taxobox I just added I decided to follow the article's current content, but a definitive answer would be welcome. Jerkov 12:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

It is now considered to be a dinosaur. All pterosaurian material has been assigned to the genus Istiodactylus.--Apatomerus 15:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
