Hello, deerbreh.
Unfortunately, I am not an expert in this stuff by any means. I only know what I gleen out of magazines, books, and a few internet pages.
I love the
Palaeos website. Not only does it have some cool cladograms, but it is full of fun information. I only wish I knew how much of the information reflects the scientific consensus and how much of it is the authors favored theories. But it really is a great site.
It has a nice page describing the history and problems of sorting out the phylogenies of the
archosaurs. But it seems to claim that the
Euparkeriidae were close to being a basal archosaur. It seems that the Euparkeriidae were already beginning down the road to what we think of "dinosaur-looking" -- the crocodile line then took a turn to becoming "lizard-like" again.
The
top picture on this page has an artist's rendition of a euparkeriidan.
Cheers!
