And i also wanted to be a marine biologist, i wanted to get a degree for both in case along the road i change my mind. Would this interfere with getting a degree for marine biology or vise versa? And does anyone know if the University of Hawaii offers whatever degree i have to get for digging up dinosaurs?

How do you distinguish between dinosaurs and non-dinosaurs when discussing reptile-like prehistoric creatures?

Grimjeff asked:


I am confused as to what the difference is between large dinosaur-like prehistoric creatures (Such as the Dimetrodon) and actual dinosaurs (Like a Tyrannosaurus). On Discovery Channel specials, I’ll see a show with two large creatures, and they’ll say that one is a dinosaur, but another is not. Is there some sort of scientific distinction? I assume there is, but what is it?
