| Description | The chapter presents a thorough overview of the features that define and are diagnostic of dinosaurs. It begins by looking at some common animals that are often mistaken for dinosaurs, such as pterosaurs and pelycosaurs, as an intro to the discussion of defining a dinosaur. The evolutionary path of dinosaurs is described to provide context on many of the ancestral characters that dinosaurs exhibit. This leads to a discussion of the characters that are unique to true dinosaurs. The chapter ends with a discussion on how to correctly define Dinosauria and a brief mention of recent work that has been done on the dinosaur family tree. Book Name: Dinosaurs |
