Ornithischia (/ˌɔːrnəˈθɪski.ə/) is an extinct clade of mainly herbivorous dinosaurs characterized by a pelvic structure superficially similar to that of birds.^[6] The name Ornithischia, or "bird-hipped", reflects this similarity and is derived from the Greek stem ornith- (ὀρνιθ-), meaning "bird", and ischion (ἴσχιον)^[a], meaning "hip".^[7] However, birds are only distantly related to this group as birds are theropod dinosaurs.^[6] Ornithischians with well known anatomical adaptations include the ceratopsians or "horn-faced" dinosaurs (e.g. Triceratops), the pachycephalosaurs or "thick-headed" dinosaurs, the armored dinosaurs (Thyreophora) such as stegosaurs and ankylosaurs, and the ornithopods.^[6] There is strong evidence that certain groups of ornithischians lived in herds,^[6]^[8] often segregated by age group, with juveniles forming their own flocks separate from adults.^[9] Some were at least partially covered in filamentous (hair- or feather- like) pelts, and there is much debate over whether these filaments found in specimens of Tianyulong, Psittacosaurus,^[10] and Kulindadromeus may have been primitive feathers.^[11]
