Sauropsida

Taxonomic cladeSauropsida (Greek for "lizard faces") is a clade of amniotes, broadly equivalent to the classReptilia, though typically used in a broader sense to also include extinct stem-group relatives of modern non-avian reptiles and birds (which, as theropod dinosaurs, are nested within reptiles as more closely related to crocodilians than to lizards or turtles).
