Archaeopteryx

Archaeopteryx, sometimes referred to by its German name, "Urvogel" (Primeval Bird) is a genus of bird-like dinosaurs.

Coelurosauria

Coelurosauria (from Greek, meaning "hollow-tailed lizards") is the clade containing all theropod dinosaurs more closely related to birds than to carnosaurs.

Deinonychosauria

Deinonychosauria is a clade of paravian dinosaurs which lived from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous periods.

Dinosaur

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.

Dinosaur National Monument is an American national monument located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa rivers. Koparion and Dinosaur National Monument are paleontology in Utah.

Dromaeosauridae

Dromaeosauridae is a family of feathered coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs.

Earl Douglass

Earl Douglass (October 28, 1862 – January 13, 1931) was an American paleontologist who discovered the dinosaur Apatosaurus, playing a central role in one of the most important fossil finds in North America.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Koparion and Genus

Geologic time scale

The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.

Hesperornithoides

Hesperornithoides (meaning "western bird form"; nicknamed "Lori") is a genus of troodontid theropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period. Koparion and Hesperornithoides are dinosaurs of the Morrison Formation, Late Jurassic dinosaurs of North America and troodontids.

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Koparion and Holotype

Jurassic

The Jurassic is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya.

See Koparion and Jurassic

Kimmeridgian

In the geologic timescale, the Kimmeridgian is an age in the Late Jurassic Epoch and a stage in the Upper Jurassic Series.

See Koparion and Kimmeridgian

Late Jurassic

The Late Jurassic is the third epoch of the Jurassic Period, and it spans the geologic time from 161.5 ± 1.0 to 145.0 ± 0.8 million years ago (Ma), which is preserved in Upper Jurassic strata.

See Koparion and Late Jurassic

List of dinosaur genera

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.

See Koparion and List of dinosaur genera

Morrison Formation

The Morrison Formation is a distinctive sequence of Upper Jurassic sedimentary rock found in the western United States which has been the most fertile source of dinosaur fossils in North America.

See Koparion and Morrison Formation

Origin of birds

The scientific question of within which larger group of animals birds evolved has traditionally been called the "origin of birds".

Specific name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen).

See Koparion and Specific name (zoology)

Stage (stratigraphy)

In chronostratigraphy, a stage is a succession of rock strata laid down in a single age on the geologic timescale, which usually represents millions of years of deposition.

See Koparion and Stage (stratigraphy)

Theropoda

Theropoda (from ancient Greek whose members are known as theropods, is a dinosaur clade that is characterized by hollow bones and three toes and claws on each limb. Theropods are generally classed as a group of saurischian dinosaurs. They were ancestrally carnivorous, although a number of theropod groups evolved to become herbivores and omnivores.

See Koparion and Theropoda

Timeline of troodontid research

This timeline of troodontid research is a chronological listing of events in the history of paleontology focused on the troodontids, a group of bird-like theropod dinosaurs including animals like Troodon. Koparion and timeline of troodontid research are troodontids.
