Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Halticosaurus. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130504013424/http://archosaur.us/theropoddatabase/Coelophysoidea.htm to http://archosaur.us/theropoddatabase/Coelophysoidea.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

I've seen a few sources online and in print, including Matthew Carrano's Paleobiology Database and Paul's Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, cite Huene (1948) as the author of "Halticosauridae", rather than Bock (1952) as cited by Mortimer on the Theropod Database, which I assume is the source of this article's inclusion of it. In the text, this Wikipedia article states "Bock observed enough unique skeletal features to assign it to its own family Halticosauridae" but this isn't true. Bock just mentions that H. longotarsus belongs to the group and then vaguely compares it to other genera. It's not clear what the group's composition is or if it even includes more taxa than Halticosaurus. I know that PBDB and Paul's book have their own citation issues, especially with older taxa, but does anyone have access to a copy of Huene (1948) so this can actually be verified?
