This image, a so-called “super-tree”, shows the relationship of 440 of the 600 known species in the Dinosaur family. It was created as part of a study with the goal of determining the various rates of diversification within the tree. You can read a nice summary of the research at Science Daily. But seriously all the chatter about Social Graphs that use a similarly formatted chart and I have to wonder, who has one as cool as this?
