1. FOSSIL EVIDENCE
Most direct evidence of evolution
How are they similar to modern species? How are they similar to other
fossils form that time period

like reptiles do. They had a modified pentadactyl limb
- Typical long neck for bird but had a long tail like a reptile. Also had
wings (feathers)
