So did theropods, by the way, so it's probably the saurischian ancestral condition. ❋ Davidmaas (2009)

They were preyed upon by large theropods (Ceratosaurs, Megalosaurs, and Allosaurs) - all of them belonging to the 'lizard hipped' or saurischian branch of the dinosaurs. ❋ Unknown (2010)

As discussed above, however, enormous sternal plates and 'special' sternocostal joints aren't required for avian-style air-sac ventilation in the first place, and saurischian dinosaurs (yes, sauropodomorphs as well as non-avian theropods) do possess the anatomical features required for an avian-style air-sac system. ❋ Unknown (2009)
