Paleontologists have found fossils dating back 3.6 billion years. these closely resemble a new species of bird called a pterodactyl.
The feathered dinosaurs are a lot like the birds that the dinosaurs lived with. They’re the closest living relatives of birds, but they don’t do the same things as birds. For example, the pterodactyl is unique in that it lacks wings and the tail. Instead, it has a long neck, a long tail, and a long, slender body. They’re also much smaller than their birds cousins.
The feathered dinosaurs are thought to have evolved from a closely related group of dinosaurs called “saurians.” This group includes the largest living animals, the triceratops, and the other famous flying dinosaurs, such as the flying saucer. The pterodactyl is thought to be a close relative of the saurians. It also matches the length and shape of the triceratops.
While the pterodactyl is thought to be a member of the saurian family, it is still quite a rare find. And the fact that it has a long neck rather than a short tail shows that these dinosaurs weren’t that common. The pterodactyl was so rare that it is believed to be a direct descendant of a group of earlier dinosaurs called coelurosaurs.
The pterodactyl was a large relative of a type of land animal called the coelurosaur, one of the largest land animals in recent times. It was a large creature that lived in the Late Triassic period, about 200 million years ago. Coelurosaurs are thought to have gone extinct 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period.

This is good news for paleontologists the world over, but not for paleontologists in the UK. The recent “death of the coelurosaur” is a new dinosaur discovery that could undermine the theory that coelurosaurs were the first dinosaurs. The coelurosaur was found in what is now the Isle of Wight, which is part of the United Kingdom.
Scientists have been studying coelurosaur fossils for years now and are convinced they were the first dinosaurs. The latest find is a partial skeleton found in a quarry in the Isle of Wight. It dates to the Late Triassic period, which is when coelurosaurs have been identified as dinosaurs. But the British paleontologist who discovered the skeleton, Tim Palmer, isn’t convinced.
“The best place to look is in the Isle of Wight, and I’m not sure it’s the best place to look,” he concedes. But he’s also not convinced that its the best place to look. “The Isle of Wight is a good place to look,” he says, “because it is a place which had a very active marine environment. But the Isle of Wight is a very small island.
So what does this mean? Well, it means that if we look back in time, we might not be looking at animals that existed millions of years ago in the Triassic period, but instead we might be looking at a group of modern animals. And that group of modern animals is a group of creatures that look very much like dinosaurs.
