What has the author Hildegarde Howard written?

When does the fossil record indicate when birds first began to fly?
The fossil record suggests that the earliest known bird capable of powered flight was Archaeopteryx, which lived around 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. This indicates that birds began to fly during the Mesozoic Era.
What was one of the first birds?
One of the first birds (which descend form dinosaurs) is represented by the fossil Archyopterix.See the link I will place below for a picture.
What has the author Tommy Tyrberg written?

What group of vertebrates is the only one with feathers?
While the birds are the only currently living animals (specifically vertebrates) with feathers, the fossil record clearly shows that some species of the reptiles (specifically the dinosaurs) had feathers (and these are the ancestors of the birds).
Why were the dinosaurs thought to go extinct?
They were thought to have gone extinction because they disappeared from the fossil record around 65 million years ago. It is now known that birds are the only dinosaurs to have survived.
Are there any fossil birds that retain more reptilian features than birds that are now living?
yes there are.
What is the specific fossil name linking reptiles and birds?
ARCHEOPTERIX
What has the author Robert M Chandler written?
Robert M. Chandler has written: 'The wing of Titanis walleri (Aves:Phorusrhacidae) from the late Blancan of Florida' -- subject(s): Birds, Fossil, Fossil Birds, Paleontology
What did fossil fule animals look like?
They looked like fish and birds.
When you compare the dinosaur fossil to modern day vertebrates what does it most resemble?
Dinosaurs most resemble birds and reptiles but mainly birds because birds evolved from dinosaurs.
How did birds evolve from reptiles?
But they did. Specifically, birds evolved from a subgroup of dinosaurs (which were reptiles) known as theropods. There is a lot of fossil and anatomical evidence for this.
