Woolly rhinoceros — The claim that the woolly rhinoceros's closest living relative is the Sumatran rhinoceros is incorrect; genetic studies place Coelodonta within the Rhinocerotini tribe, closer to African rhinos like the white or black rhinoceros.
Abelisauridae — The entry states that abelisaurids possibly first appeared during the Middle Jurassic based on fragmentary remains, but the widely accepted earliest definitive abelisaurid fossils are from the Early Cretaceous; the claim of Middle Jurassic appearance is specul
Abelisauridae — The entry says the hand had four basic digits with phalangeal formula one on the second and two on the third, but the correct formula for known abelisaurids is 0-2-3-0 (second digit has two phalanges, third has three).
Coelophysis — Cope did not reclassify Coelurus longicollis and Coelurus bauri into the genus Tanystropheus; he reclassified them into the genus Coelophysis.
Coelophysis — The claim that Cope named Tanystropheus willistoni in this context is incorrect; Tanystropheus willistoni is a species of the non-dinosaurian genus Tanystropheus, not a synonym or reclassification of Coelophysis material.
