By the way, dinosaurs were reptiles as are lizards. Lizards are ectotherms, not just "cold-blooded". Their body temperature varies.
There's evidence that most were endotherms. Their bones don't show the ring-patterns common in ectotherms. They are more similar to some of the large fishes that are endothermic.

What species of fish are endothermic?

There is evidence both ways. And the link I provided seems to indicate that they were cold rather than warm blooded.
