'''The Dinosaur Heresies: New Theories Unlocking the Mystery of the Dinosaurs and Their Extinction''' was a
1986 book published by
Robert T. Bakker, a prominent
paleontologist.
The book sums up the extant evidence which indicates that dinosaurs, rather than being cold-blooded and wholly lizard-like, were in fact warm-blooded (homeothermic) creatures.
Although controversial on publication in 1986, the passage of time has proven Bakker correct in many respects, and much of ''Dinosaur Heresies'' now represents the prevalent view in paleontological circles.[
