Difference between Reptile and Sauropterygia

Reptile vs. Sauropterygia

Reptiles are tetrapod animals in the class Reptilia, comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes, amphisbaenians, lizards, tuatara, and their extinct relatives. Sauropterygia ("lizard flippers") is an extinct, diverse taxon of aquatic reptiles that developed from terrestrial ancestors soon after the end-Permian extinction and flourished during the Mesozoic before they became extinct at the end of that era.

Similarities between Reptile and Sauropterygia

Reptile and Sauropterygia have 26 things in common (in Unionpedia): Archosaur, Archosauriformes, Archosauromorpha, Choristodera, Cretaceous, Diapsid, Extinction, Ichthyopterygia, Kuehneosauridae, Lepidosauria, Lepidosauromorpha, Lizard, Mesozoic, Pachypleurosaur, Pantestudines, Permian–Triassic extinction event, Placodont, Plesiosauria, Protorosauria, Rhynchosaur, Richard Owen, Sinosaurosphargis, Thalattosaur, Triassic, Trilophosaurus, Turtle.

Archosaur

Archosaurs are a group of diapsid amniotes whose living representatives consist of birds and crocodilians.

Archosauriformes

Archosauriformes (Greek for 'ruling lizards', and Latin for 'form') is a clade of diapsid reptiles that developed from archosauromorph ancestors some time in the Late Permian (roughly 250 million years ago).

Archosauromorpha

Archosauromorpha (Greek for "ruling lizard forms") is a clade (or infraclass) of diapsid reptiles that first appeared during the middle Permian and became more common during the Triassic.

Choristodera

Choristodera is an extinct order of semiaquatic diapsid reptiles that ranged from the Middle Jurassic, or possibly Late Triassic, to at least the early Miocene.

Diapsid

Diapsids ("two arches") are a group of amniote tetrapods that developed two holes (temporal fenestra) in each side of their skulls about 300 million years ago during the late Carboniferous period.

Extinction

In biology, extinction is the termination of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species.

Ichthyopterygia

Ichthyopterygia ("fish flippers") was a designation introduced by Sir Richard Owen in 1840 to designate the Jurassic ichthyosaurs that were known at the time, but the term is now used more often for both true Ichthyosauria and their more primitive early and middle Triassic ancestors.

Kuehneosauridae is an extinct family of small, lizard-like lepidosauromorph diapsids known from the Triassic period of Europe and North America.

Permian–Triassic extinction event

The Permian–Triassic (P–Tr or P–T) extinction event, colloquially known as the Great Dying, the End-Permian Extinction or the Great Permian Extinction, occurred about 252 Ma (million years) ago, forming the boundary between the Permian and Triassic geologic periods, as well as the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
