The relationship between bird and dinosaur

ICSC302 Sciencific Reseaech and presentation By Warasinee Apirakdacharchai ID 5080048

What is the relationship between

Bird

Dinosaur

Who came first?



Now let's look at the cosmic calendar to see who came first

When Asteroid hit the earth.



Now let's look back 65 millions years ago when Asteroid hit the earth surface and we believe it wiped out most of dinosaur but NOT all.

There are 2 theories.



Gradualistic the change of biological evolution Catastrophic the extraterrestrial impact hypothesis.
By combining 2 theories, I can claim that the one who died are the one who live in the shallow water marine animal because the level of the sea had fallen due to the climate change that make the air cool down (which go to the ice age era). For some species that were lucky too live evolve into the species to adapt with the new climate and atmosphere. So they change or evolve to be other species according to the rule of evolution.

Mesozoic era(245 Mya 65 Mya)



This is dinosaur era which devided into 3 periods.



Triassic period Dinosaurs were small. Jurassic period



Dinosaurs were getting bigger. Cretaceous period

 

Asteroid impacted the earth surface.

2 types of dinosaur


4 legged dinosaur (mostly evolve into reptile) 2 legged dinosaur (mostly evolve into bird)

Triceratops

Staurkosaurus

Why is that so?



For 4 legged dinosaur, they can be with big or smell. I believe. The one were small was lucky to survive but anyway they need to evolve into another species to fit with the new climate and atmosphere.

Tarchia

Why is that so?

For 2 legged dinosaur, there two front hands were useless and small. So it became wing. Some believe that raptor in Cretaceous period has feather like bird. Some said that the early bird is so dinosaur-like.

Good example


Archaeopteryx, the first good example of a "feathered dinosaur". Archaeopteryx is a transitional fossil, with features clearly intermediate between those of modern reptiles and birds. Gallimimus also a good example of the relation ship between bird and dinosau

Link between bird and dinosaur



Lung - the lung Comparison between the air sacs of Majungasaurus and a bird Large meat-eating dinosaurs had a complex system of air sacs similar to those found in modern birds

Majungasaurus

Link between bird and dinosaur



Walking and sleeping They walk, hop and sleep like bird, such as gallimimus or raptor

(see gallimimus running pattern)

Link between bird and dinosaur



There bone structure are very similar to bird and they both laid eggs.

Additional


Now let's take about flying dinosaur or to be correct flying reptile. They are ver similar to bird. At least they can fly but what make them different is the the flying reptile has no feather.
