Tarbosaurus skeletal mount at the Mesa Southwest Museum. Photo Â© Geb Bennett. The theropod (meaning beast-footed) dinosaurs are a diverse group of bipedal saurischian dinosaurs. They include the largest terrestrial carnivores ever to have made the earth tremble. What most people think of as theropods (e.g., T. rex, Deinonychus) are extinct today, but recent studies have conclusively shown that birds are actually the descendants of small nonflying theropods.
Education Requirements. To gain an entry-level job in marine biology, you need to have a Bachelor of Science degree in marine biology or a related field such as biochemistry, biology, botany, ecology, microbiology or zoology.
You'll need a degree -- preferably an advanced degree -- with coursework in the sciences, including biology, oceanography, marine sciences, chemistry and biochemistry. While pursuing your education, you'll need to gain as much experience as you can in a variety of marine science environments.ind out what research the scientists in the biology or marine sciences departments are conducting and contact them directly. Even volunteer positions are competitive, so take to your interview a list of the science and lab experiences you've had.
