Dominic loves Dinosaurs.  He loves talking about how dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. Ask and he'll tell you that dinosaurs first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago, although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research. Dominic loves to discuss when dinosaurs became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates after the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event 201 million years ago and if their dominance continued through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. After reading a recent article about Reverse genetic engineering. Dominic understands that the fossil records demonstrate that birds are modern feathered dinosaurs, having evolved from earlier theropods during the late Jurassic Period. Further, Dominic loves to chat about  birds being the only dinosaur lineage to survive the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago.  He believs that dinosaurs can therefore be divided into avian dinosaurs, or birds; and non-avian dinosaurs, which are all dinosaurs other than birds. What do you think?  Leave Dominic a comment about a specific dinosaur topic you want to discuss!
