Interesting Dinosaurs

Deinonychus - its name means terrible claw and it was one of the most ferocious dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period. If you’ve seen Jurassic Park, what they call velociraptors were in fact examples of this beast!

Ultrasaurus - a large dinosaur discovered in South Korea, however its provenance is in dispute, as some believe the bones found were misidentified and were in fact those of a supersaurus

Carnotaurus - a similar dinosaur to tyrannosaurus rex, but thought to have been able to run at fast speeds, possibly making it even more deadly!

Euoplocephalus - one of the largest species of anklyosaur, with an enormous club on the end of its tail.

Compsognathus - turkey-sized and feather-covered dinosaur which fed on a diet of small lizards.

Spinosaurus - now thought to be the largest carnivorous dinosaur, 18 metres in length and weighing in at 23 tons.

Parasaurolophus - a dinosaur with a huge, elaborate crest on its head; the purpose of which is still unknown - although scientists suggest it could have been for regulation of body temperature.

Gigantoraptor - the largest feathered dinosaur discovered to date - eight metres long and weighing over two tons, it is an amazing 35 times bigger than the next largest!

Sauroposeidon - thought to be the tallest land animal ever to have existed at over 18 metres in height!

Archaeopteryx - the transition between feathered dinosaurs and birds; the fossils of this species which have been discovered give us the strongest evidence of the theory of evolution.
