'''Ornithodira''' is a ] within the larger group ]ia. Members of this clade are characterized by an upright ] and an S-curved neck, hence the name "Ornithodira" ("bird neck"). It contains two sub-]s, ] and ].

Dinosauromorpha contains the ]s, and their famous descendants, the ]s, some of which (specifically ]) are considered by most modern scientists to be ancestors of modern ]s.

Pterosauromorpha contains ]ia, which are the famous flying reptiles, and perhaps the first ]s capable of ]. Most researchers think pterosaurians had neither an S-curved neck, nor an upright ]. However, the Ornithodira clade is still valid because it is defined as the last common ancestor of the dinosaurs and the pterosaurs, and all its descendants.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • From an animal with possibilities: This is a redirect from an animal-related title that could potentially be expanded into an article. A redirect that employs this template will usually be a generally accepted species name that targets an article about a genus (or higher taxon).
    • For guidance on how to start a new page from a section, please see Misplaced Pages:Summary style. It is important that the topic is notable in accordance with the guideline, and that the article is structured in line with the manual of style; otherwise, there is a possibility that the article will be re-merged and turned back into a redirect.
    • Do not replace these redirected links with piped links.
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
