What is a calamosaur?
A calamosaur is a small therapod dinosaur of the genus Calamosaurus.
What are therapods?
The therapod group members were mostly carnivorous (Tyrannosaurus Rex is a good example), but Therizosaurus is a herbivorous member. The therapod dinosaurs are the only dinosaur group that has living desendents-the birds. So that means "dinosaurs" flap their wings and sing in the trees today!
What are the dinosaurs Ceolophysis?
dinosaur, ceolophysis was an individual dinosaur about the size of a cat. ceolophysis is a small therapod dinosaur.
Were some theropods cannibalistic?
Probably. There were fossils of ceratosaurus that had teeth marks on them, but this could have been from another, larger therapod, like an allosaur.
What are Therapod dinosaurs?
Theropods are an extinct group of bipedal, carnivorous dinosaurs.They varied in their size and diet. Some theropods such as Velociraptor were the size of turkeys; others, such as Tyrannosaurus, were many times taller than humans. Some ate small animals such as lizards and insects. Others feasted on the meat of large herbivorous dinosaurs.
Are hens dinosaurs?
Yes (WITH A BIG MAYBE ATTACHED) The difference between certain therapod dinosaurs and birds is very small. Every feature we use to describe birds (beak, feathers, wings) first evolved on dinosaurs. In fact the morphology between birds and the raptor family of therapod dinosaurs is so similar many scientists to call birds avian dinosaurs.
Was Tyrannosaurus Rex a raptor?
No. Raptors belong to the Dromaeosaurid Therapod family of dinosaurs. Tyrannosaurs belong to the family tyrannasauroidae a different part of the Therapod family tree.The dromaeosaurids and tyrannosaurs are closely related within the coelurosaurian clade. Other members were ornithomimosaurs, alvarezasaurs, compsognathids, therizinosaurs, oviraptorosaurs, troodontids, and birds. Some scientists say that early tyrannosaurs such as proceratosaurus and guanlong of the jurassic were small raptors thus that the legendary tyrannosaurus rex descended from raptor-like creatures.
Are birds considered dinosaurs?
No, but it is pretty clear that birds descended from the 'therapod' dinosaurs. Of course, birds have evolved and improved a lot since the age of dinosaurs. One of the most common of the therapoda was the Tyrannosaurus rex.
What kind of paleontologist they are?
There are as many different fields in Paleontology as there are topics to study. There are paleontologists who lets say, specialize in therapod dinosaurs; but then there may be paleontologists who study Trilobite anatomy. Also, Paleontologists can specialize in a certain period in time, suck as the Cretaceous, or the Ordovician.
What do you call the sub-order of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs?
Meat eating dinosaurs, or any meat eating animal/mammals are considered as a "carnivore". The group that contains most meat eating dinosaurs is Theropoda.Carnivore/Carnivorous eg: T-rex
Is the tyrannosaurus rex a therapod or a saurapod?
Theropods were two legged, carnivorous dinosaurs. Triceratops had four legs and was an herbivore. Therefor, Triceratops wasn't a theropod. Instead, they were a type of ceratopsian, which were four legged, herbivorous dinosaurs with a beak and usually a frill and often horns.
What are the decendents of a dinosaur?
Simplest answer: We aren't totally sure. Fossil evidence suggests that modern birds may be distant relatives of some species of dinosaur such as Achaeopteryx and Shuvuuia, both species of which are known to have feathers and a bird-like anatomy while still having more similarities to therapod dinosaurs than modern birds.
