The original poster wanted to know if dinosaurs would be
1) edible 2) kosher.

Edible, yes. Think modern dinosaurs, Emus and Ostriches. For
all practical purposes, these ancient animals are dino's!

Kosher, no. Only birds that can fly are kosher AFAIK.

Doesn't the term kosher also apply to food or food
preparation blessed by a Rabbi? One would have to wonder if
there were Rabbi's running around blessing dinosaur meat
around the cave 🙂

Not that I know of. (I welcome correction, of course.)
There is kosher slaughter which involves someone
knowledgeable in doing it right to inspect the animal for
good health and having a sharp enough knife and slicing in
exactly the right place, etc. But a special blessing from a
rabbi isn't part of it.

Nope. When something is kosher certified it means that a
qualified Jew, usually a Rabbi, was around to confirm that
all ingredients were kosher and that everything was prepared
according to Jewish Law. No blessings needed. The person
eating the food says a blessing before and after its
consumption if it is kosher.

BTW. a dinosaur does not have the criteria of a kosher
animal so it is not kosher.

dinosaurs weren't exactly birds. you got another reason they
wouldn't be kosher? (i don't have any idea whether lizards
are kosher, though it seems doubtful.)

There's some evidence that they were more closely related to
birds than to anything else.

Reptiles aren't kosher.

However, in emergency situations, almost anything can
licitly be eaten to maintain health.

This got me to thinking about the relationship between birds
and reptiles and dinosaurs and that got me to searching the
web and I found this:

ucmp.berkeley.eduavians.htmlOpen ↗

It says some things about birds and reptiles and dinosaurs,
though it don't got nothing to say about kosher.

I also found this which gives a somewhat different story and
still does not address the kosher issue:

In any event, I recently read that President Bush,
commenting on evolution, said that "the jury is still out."
So lets not jump to any hasty conclusions.
