Avetheropoda

Machine-translated from the Spanish article

The Avetheropoda are a clade of tetanuran theropod dinosaurs characteristic of the Middle Jurassic (approximately 167 million years ago, in the Bathonian) to the Late Cretaceous (approximately 65 million years ago, in the Maastrichtian) of Asia, South America, Oceania, Africa, North America and Europe. Avetheropods include the most evolved theropods, among them the ancestors of birds. It is defined as the most recent common ancestor of Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Allosaurus fragilis (Marsh, 1877) and all descendants of this ancestor.
