• Example 2: Dinosaur Lineage -

  • Add a Source: Paste text 

    •  Dinosaurs were a diverse group of reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era, from the Triassic period (around 245 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (about 66 million years ago). While most non-avian dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, modern birds are considered a type of dinosaur as they share a common ancestor with these extinct reptiles.
