Detailed explanation-1: -Q. A fossil of an extinct dinosaur is found and the anatomy of the fossil shows similarities to that of a bird. What could this mean? the younger the rocks get.
Detailed explanation-2: -The strong evidence doesn’t just come from fossilised bones and similarities found across the skeleton, but from fossilised soft tissue – especially feathers. Many dinosaurs had not just some kind of body covering, but distinctive bird-like feathers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Modern birds descended from a group of two-legged dinosaurs known as theropods, whose members include the towering Tyrannosaurus rex and the smaller velociraptors.
Detailed explanation-4: -D. Evidence that birds are descended from theropod dinosaurs includes shared anatomical features, as well as inferred physiological and behavioral similarities.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fossil evidence also demonstrates that birds and dinosaurs shared features such as hollow, pneumatized bones, gastroliths in the digestive system, nest-building and brooding behaviors.
