Are archeopetryx amphibians?
Nope. ^_^ Although they may have looked like amphibians, dinosaurs were reptiles. Also, not all reptiles back in their time were technically dinosaurs; for instance, pterodactyls (flying reptiles) and icthyosaurs (swimming reptiles) were not in the dinosaur family. The reason for this is that you had to have a special kind of hip joint to be a dinosaur - there were actually two kinds, called bird-hips and lizard-hips. Anyway, you could tell by looking at how the animal walked if it posessed these hips - and thus, if it was a dinosaur or not - by looking at how it walked. If it walked with its knees directly underneath its hip or elbow joints, then it was a dinosaur. For instance, chickens, humans and dogs walk like this. If it walked any other way - for instance, if it walked with its elbows splayed out to the sides like how a salamander walks - then it was not. Hope that helped! ;D
