Extinction of dinosaours
How about the last study that dinosours bones actually have collagen remains on their bones, if this is true they did not become extinct before 60 million years--Evropariver (talk) 09:38, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- No, if this is true it means collagen can survive in conditions we previously thought it couldn't. Dinoguy2 (talk) 11:20, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
so what you thick holds,,, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.178.113 (talk) 21:09, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what language that is, but all contributions to English Wikipedia are to be in English. Trilobright (talk) 18:15, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
Extinction
I'd like to know what do creationist scientists think how dinosaurs have become extinct? They believe that 6.000 years ago, humans lived together with dinosaurs. So how have dinosaurs become extinct, according to them? --212.186.0.108 (talk) 15:42, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- To the extent that there are legitimate paleontologists that seriously believe the Earth is that young, this article would not be the place to describe it (it would be pseudoscience since science has established that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old with an error margin of bout 1 percent). The place on Wikipedia to describe their explanations would be Creation science. Gap9551 (talk) 16:55, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- Alright, I put this paragraph into the talk of that article. --212.186.0.108 (talk) 21:53, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Inclusion of birds in Dinosaur montage? Suggestion
The subject explains it all really, do you think pictures or skeletons of birds should be included in the montage image for this page?
If so, what birds (extinct or extant) would be good candidates? (Perhaps two?)
if not, why?

Reptile
- Instead, they represent a separate group of reptiles that, like many extinct forms, did not exhibit characteristics traditionally seen as reptilian
Jane and the Dragon has Dragon call himself a reptile and the creators say he is a dinosaur, so dinosaurs being reptiles made sense to me. But I looked at the tables on the right and see a problem.
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Chordata
- Class: Sauropsida
- Clade: Dinosauriformes
- Clade: Dinosauria
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Chordata
- Clade: Amniota
- Class: Reptilia
The Kingdom/Phylum match up well enough, but rather than being part of the "reptilia" class it instead says Sauropsida. Doesn't that mean dinosaurs are not reptiles? Has something been mislabelled?
Also why are there 2 lines saying Clade? Is one a mistake?
Also confused by the order. Why does it go Class>Clade for Dinosaur and Clade>Class for reptile? 174.92.133.112 (talk) 07:13, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- "Reptilia" is not a modern scientific group, but more of a folk biology group including unrelated animals, the closest biological class is Sauropsida. Also "clade" is not a rank, as it means any group of related animals. Editor abcdef (talk) 07:49, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- Reptilia and Sauropsida are basically the same. Abyssal (talk) 12:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
