Research on the Evolution of Dinosaurs

You can find tons of information about dinosaurs online. The problem is that most of the data conflicts because scientists do not truly know much about dinosaurs and they are always proving each other wrong.

This document is a great place to start because it has some very cool graphs of the supposed evolution of dinosaurs. It will give you a good idea about how they might have developed.

This book has wonderful reviews, and not just as a textbook. It's definitely more involved then a typical kid book about dinosaurs, making it great for research writing. But it's also a lot easier to read than most textbooks so you should be able to find the information you need faster. And as a bonus, you might actually enjoy reading it!
