Paleological evidence for homoeothermic tendencies in theropod dinosaurs in the Cretaceous Period Abstract Dinosaurs were considered to be cold blooded reptiles until several shocking discoveries and studies have changed the way that the general public has viewed them. Theropod dinosaurs have been selected to be analyzed because they have the strongest evidence pointing to warm blooded tendencies across the class. Carbon and oxygen isotopes in teeth enamel and physical fossilized data can be used

The Origin of Birds For as long as cohesive evolutionary theories have been in place‚ the heated debate regarding the origin of birds and their relationship to dinosaurs has raged on. After the 1860s birds have been hypothesized as being closely related to an ample assortment of extant and extinct reptile lineages. These include a diversity of basal archosaurs and archosauromorphs‚ pterosaurs‚ crocodylomorphs (including modern crocodylians and their Mesozoic relatives)‚ and various theropod ornithischian

volume Ornithologiae.[5] Carolus Linnaeusmodified that work in 1758 to devise the taxonomic classification system currently in use.[6] Birds are categorised as the biological classAves in Linnaean taxonomy. Phylogenetic taxonomy places Aves in the dinosaur clade Theropoda.[7] Definition Aves and a sister group‚ the clade Crocodilia‚ contain the only living representatives of the reptile clade Archosauria. During the late 1990s‚ Aves was most commonly defined phylogenetically as all descendants of the most recent
