Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles [note 1] of the dinosaur clade. They first appeared in the Triassic period, 243-233.23 million years ago, [1] [2] although the exact origin and timing of dinosaur evolution is the subject of active research. [3] They became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates after the Triassic-Jurassic Extinction 201 million years ago; their domination continued into the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Reverse genetic engineering [4] and fossil record show that birds are modern feathered dinosaurs [5] that evolved from primary theropods during the Late Jurassic. [6] As such, birds are the only line of dinosaurs that survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction 66 million years ago. [7] Thus, dinosaurs can be divided into avian or bird dinosaurs; and non-avian dinosaurs. This article deals mainly with non-avian dinosaurs.
