"If you torture data sufficiently, it will confess to almost anything." - Fred Menger


Denver skyline (taken at SVP 2004)

This page will eventually house data from my published works and hopefully will be a resource for phylogenetic datasets. In particular I hope to provide a source for published cladistic datasets of fossil taxa that have formed the basis of much of my own research.

Dinosaur matrices

As a start listed below are all the publications I know of that contain a cladistic matrix of non-avian dinosaurs. This list was assembled as part of the dinosaur supertree project and I am slowly adding NEXUS files as well. If you would like to donate a file or notify me of a paper I have missed then just email me.
