Are dinosaurs closer to reptiles or birds?
There are no transitional fossils between reptiles and birds, but many new bird fossils have been discovered in the last couple of decades, revealing several intermediates between theropod dinosaurs (such as Allosaurus) and modern birds. ChaCha!

About Fossils
A fossil is an organism that once was alive but now is preserved in another mineral or chemical form. The name comes from the Latin word 'fossus.'
About Birds
Birds are warm-blooded vertebrates that lay eggs. A bird’s skin is covered with feathers, and all living species have wings made from modified forelimbs, even though some species do not fly. The origin of birds goes back to the Jurassic period. Modern birds have no teeth unlike their predecessors. Birds are found on all seven continents and play an important role in the earth’s ecosystem.
