Interesting, but it completely ignores the work of Olivier Rieppel. Also, the connection of turtles to archosaurs is much better resolved by the molecular data than she suggests, which would probably remove Eunotosaurus from a close relationship, assuming it’s a Sauropterygian like it’s generally claimed to be. Still, a good story.
