Lol, I decided to go with the pop culture "Jurassic Park" style definition of "dinosaur." A lot of people have never even heard of an Apatosaurus. Could have gone with Micropachycephalosaurus or Eustreptospondylus or something

And there is an Archaeopteryx league; it's a D League, along with little old Compsognathus.

It's okay, Brontosaurus is a perfectly reasonable "nickname" or "alternate name" for Apatosaurus if you ask me, but technically, Apatosaurus is the official name (and that's what comes home from grade school homework now...)

The Archaeopteryx is considered a connection between dinosaurs and modern birds, maybe you are mixing these two?


Dinosaurs evolved from birds not reptiles....the theory of them evolving from reptiles went extinct much like the dino's themselves...
Most Dinosaurs had feathers and bone structures that current birds have...don't know about you but I don't know any reptiles with feathers

birds are technically reptiles. and birds were definitely not around before dinosaurs, not sure if you are trolling or not.

During the Triassic period, all land on Earth existed as one enormous mass. It was called Pangaea. The supercontinent slowly began to break up during the Triassic Period.
During this time some birds, reptiles, frogs, turtles and crocodiles existed, but dinosaurs didn’t appear until late in the Triassic period.

sorry but that's just not true. Birds didnt evolve until 60-70 MYA, which is well after the Triassic (200+ MYA).

It's like telling people the world is flat or the Earth is the center of the universe...Birds didn't evolve into what we know until after Triassic...they did exist before then just not in the form we know now
