[Avodah] Are Dinosaurs Kosher?

Would they be lizards or birds?

I am asking because they found a well-preserved dinosaur embryo in
Ganzhou (S China), they named it "Baby Yingliang". The article I saw
noted that the position of the embryo in the egg is like that of a bird,
not a lizard. So, it got me thinking...

Is an owf something that flies? What if you had a feathered dinosaur,
an herbivore with toes that all point forward, a beak (not teeth),
which layed hard-shelled eggs (lizard eggs have leathery shells) with
a wide end and a narrow one (Baby Yingliang's species fails that one),
I mean really, this thing looks like a bird with arms.

I could see them someday hatching an herbivore that would seem like a
kosher bird in every way but having wings.

Tir'u baTov!
