How are the theropods classified? |
Like most dinosaur science, the classification of theropods differs greatly from study to study—and even scientist to scientist. One common classification lists the following: Suborder Theropoda, Infraorder Ceratosauria, Clade Tetanurae, Infraorder Carnosauria, Clade Coelurosauria, Infraorder Ornithomimosauria, Clade Maniraptora, and so on. As more dinosaurs are found, this listing continues to change.
