Blikanasauridae
Blikanasauridae is a monotypic group of early sauropodomorph dinosaurs. The clade was first proposed by Galton and van Heerden in 1985. The family consists of Blikanasaurus and its nearest relatives. However, it is not clear which other genera are included in the family. The family is not used in many current taxonomies; Benton and Fabien do not list the clade in their reviews of Dinosauria. The Blikanasaurids were once considered prosauropods, but new research indicates they may in fact have been basal sauropods.
