Theropoda (suborder) (Saurischia (extinct order), Dinosauria (extinct superorder), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Dinosaurs belonging to the suborder Theropoda were primarily carnivorous, although a number of theropod groups evolved herbivory, omnivory, and insectivory. Theropods first appeared during the Carnian age of the late Triassic period about 230 Ma and included the sole large terrestrial carnivores from the Early Jurassic until at least the close of the Cretaceous, about 66 Ma. In the Jurassic, birds evolved from small specialized coelurosaurian theropods, and are today represented by 9,900 living species.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Dinosauriërs die tot de onderorde Theropoda behoorden waren grotendeels carnivoor, maar een aantal groepen zijn door evolutie herbivoor, omnivoor of insectivoor geworden. De Theropoda verschenen voor het eerst tijdens het carnien, een tijdperk van het late trias, rond 230 Ma, en vormden van de vroege jura tot zeker het einde van het krijt, rond 66 Ma, de enige groep grote carnivoren op het land. In de jura evolueerden zich vogels vanuit kleine, specialistische Coelurosauria (een onderverdeling van de Theropoda). Vandaag de dag vertegenwoordigen deze vogels 9900 levende soorten. |
