Note the paraphyletic Ornithischia, the (Ceratopsia + Thyreophora <- "Ornithopoda") clade, rhabdodontid Amtocephale, monophyletic Prosauropoda, theropodan Agrosaurus and Pampadromaeus, carnosaurian tyrannosaurids, coelurosaurian Heterodontosaurus (joined by Protoavis), therizinosaurian Yi, dromaeosaurid Anchiornis, deinonychosaurian oviraptorids, among others.

Mesquite also does this weird thing where similarly-scored taxa are recovered as laddered clades sorted alphabetically, with the alphabetically first taxon sister to the last.
