(...) As far as I know, there is no debate. Icthyosaurs are not Dinosaurs, just as Pterosaurs aren't Dinosaurs either. :) However, all three types are Archosaurs. :) (...) First, the sauropod (in this case, Diplodocus) dug a hole with its rear feet. (...) (26 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) True, however, Ichthyosaurs are definitely not a good example, if you ask me. Sharks, after all, give birth to live young(I'm not sure about all of them, but I think they do), so perhaps laying eggs is a poor choice for large sea-going (...) (26 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Ichthyosaurs absolutely did (there's a famous fossil of an Ophthalmosaurus that died while giving birth and was somehow fossilized), so there's no reason that archosaurs didn't. Oh, regarding that end-of-the-sauropods argument, there are (...) (26 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Darn sacci-frasso-rassin' kids, stealin' my thunder...;) But yeah, that's the story. Why do crocodiles not have a high, warm-blooded metabolism? They don't need it, and have never needed it. They're archosaurs like monotremes are (...) (26 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
