The Tyrannosaurus does in fact have an extremely tiny third finger, you can see it in its skeleton. GreatGatsby 03:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

"Some believe Tetanurae is a false group consisting of two entirely seperate lineages..."
I've never seen this anywhere. Does someone have a reference?
"Oddly enough, recent Ceratosaurus finds indicate that the species may be in fact a basal Tetanurae carnosaur..."
This needs a reference, too. And since Tetanurae is defined as excluding Ceratosaurus, this is actually impossible.
I'm removing these until someone provides a reference.-- Keesey 23:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
A new tyrannosauroid tetanurine has been discovered and dated to 200 million years ago. So should we up the fossil range to 200 or should we wait until the animal is completely described?

Would it be possible for someone to clarify exactly what defines a theropod as belonging to Tetanuare? What I mean is, the name means "stiff tails", but what exactly does that mean? Do tetanurans have anatomy in their tails that's different from other theropods? -- Myrddin_Wyllt 4/9/12 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.234.242.12 ( talk) 21:00, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand one of the sentences under this section, where it states: "Soon afterwards the niche of terrestrial apex predator ceratosaurs and tyrannosaurid coelurosaurs, which dominated terminal Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems." Could there possibly be a word or a clause missing from the statement? Maybe something along the lines of "Soon afterwards the niche of terrestrial apex predator ceratosaurs and tyrannosaurid coelurosaurs ARRIVED, which dominated terminal Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems."?

These node-based clades have little value of their own aside from discussing the classification of tenaturans in more detail. Furthermore, the exact classification of these groups has been called into question by recent research. "Orionides" and "Avetheropoda" might be synonyms of one another, or even of Tetanurae as a whole. The articles are also very scrappy on their own, and offer largely redundant information, which could be easily covered by expanding this article (especially since the infobox already includes these groups).
