Remember that dinosaurs were the precursors of birds and they were also reptiles. Birds and amphibians, male and female, have a sexual organ called a cloaca which they would press together to exchange sperm. However, reptiles do have an internal penis, that only appears externally during sex, which would be used with the female's cloaca.

MaxineMost dinosaurs likely reproduced by mating, with the male using a cloaca to transfer sperm to the female's cloaca. This method of reproduction is similar to how modern birds reproduce. While the exact mating behaviors of dinosaurs are still a topic of research and debate, this is the current understanding based on fossil evidence and comparisons to modern relatives.

What does procreated mean?
The simple answer is to "Procreate" is to "Reproduce" as in "make more babies"
Did modern reptiles evolve from dinosaurs?
No, although modern reptiles and dinosaurs do share common ancestors that lived in the distant past (likely the Carboniferous epoch). Birds, however, evolved from dinosaurs in the Jurassic epoch.
Do archaeologists study dinosaurs?
Yes, but they choose not to. Archaeologists concern themselves with human and societal development (like anthropologists) and as such they deal with remains that are too young to have fossilized. If an archaeologist wanted to, they certainly could apply their skills to paleontology, but they leave that to the paleontologists just like the paleontologists leave anthropology to archaeologists and anthropologists.
What do archaeologists dig up?
They dig up bones and fossils of things that existed before humans, such as dinosaurs, or maybe even ancient humans!
Why is archaeopterysx important in skellig?
Archaeopteryx is important in Skellig because it is a fossil of a prehistoric bird-like dinosaur that has characteristics of both birds and dinosaurs. Its discovery helps scientists understand the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds, shedding light on the origins of flight in birds. The presence of Archaeopteryx in Skellig emphasizes the island's rich biodiversity and historical significance.
