Megalodon

 { I just want to point out straight away that Megalodon did not live at the time of dinosaurs, but I did it anyway cause I treat it like it did } The Megalodon is the biggest shark to ever live! Apparently, it could reach 69 feet long!, snout to tail tip! Megalodon means "Big Tooth". Did you know, that once, a kid was digging on a beach under rocks, and found a Megalodon Tooth! If the Megalodon were still alive today, Humanity would be extinct! Megalodon went extinct 1 million years before humans, 2.6 million years ago. Their have been many "claimed" Megalodon sightings.

Dilophosaurus

 The Dilophosaurus was discovered 1940 in Arizona where three skelotons were found, only two were very well preserved. The Dilophosaurus is in Myth and some Movies known to be able to spit poison from it's mouth, but their is no scientific evidence that it  is true! It lived in the Jurassic Period about 193 million years ago. It was a Theropod that lived in North America.

Ceratosaurus

 The Ceratosaurus was discovered 1884 by Othneil Charles Marsh. in Colorado. It lived 156 million years ago in the Jurassic Period. It was a carnivorous Theropod. It's biggest rival is Allosaurus."Nah! This is my territory!" they roared at each other for a couple million years I guess. Fun Fact, when Marsh found the skeleton, he thought that the dinosaur was gonna be an excellent swimmer. But it doesn't have a long snout to go fishing Brainypants!

Archaeopteryx

 The Archaeopteryx was discovered 1980 in Germany. Now, the Archaeopteryx could not fly, but glided from tree to tree, snatching insects as it did so. The name Archaeopteryx means "Old Wing". It has been referred to as the oldest known bird. But it's actually not. Yes, I'm sure I mentioned this before, but, birds are dinosaurs! Okay!? The first skeleton of Archaeopteryx was a headless bird!

Plateosaurus

 The Plateosaurus was discovered 1834 Johann Friedrich Engelhardt. It was actually the fifth dinosaur to be named! It was a Prosauropod. Not a Sauropod.  Sauropods only walk on four legs. Prosauropods walk on four and two legs, but still have long necks, otherwise Prosauropods would just be Hadrosaurs. It lived about 214 million to 204 million years ago, in the Triassic Period. By the time 2011 came around, two species were discovered. Plateosaurus Engelhardti. And Plateosaurus Gracilis. It lived in Northern parts of Europe.

Parasaurolophus

 The Parasaurolophus was discovered 1922 by William Parks. Scientists believe that they have found partial fossilized blood veins in the crest. So, it might have been able to make sounds with it's crest like hoots and groans. The Parasaurolophus is a Hadrosaur like  Iguanodon. Their are three main species of Parasaurolophus, Parasaurolophus Walkeri, Parasaurolophus Tubicen, and Parasaurolophus Cyrtocristatus. It lived in North America and Asia in the Cretaceous Period about 76.5 million to 73 million years ago.

It is known by two species, Carcharodontosaurus Saharicus, and Carcharodontosaurus Iguidensis. It was literally almost, maybe even bigger, than the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

 The Eoraptor was discovered 1993 in western Gondwana { a prehistoric chunk of land }. The Eoraptor is actually the First actual dinosaur to ever live! Approximately 231 million to 228 million years ago, in the Triassic Period, the earliest known time of dinosaurs. It was a small, Theropod dinosaur.

Tropegnathus

 The Tropeognathus was discovered 1980 in Brazil. It lived 125 million to 100 million years ago, in the Cretaceous Period. It is not a dinosaur but a Pterosaur, or, flying reptile. It is closely related to Anhanguera, another Pterosaur.

Iguanodon

The Iguanodon is the second dinosaur to be named. It is a genus of Hadrosaur. Discovered 1822, it is possibly the most popular Hadrosaur of all time. Iguanodon had giant thumb spikes were used for defense against other predators like maybe Tyrannosaurus Rex, it did live in the Cretaceous Period!

Dimetrodon

The Dimetrodon was discovered 1878 Edward Drinker Cope. It lived before the dinosaurs, just like Diplocaulus. It lived 295 million to 272 million years ago, in the Permian Period. Scientists think that it might have used the sail on it's back to control it's temperature. It did have blood veins in it's sail. It could have lied in the sun to warm up and could sit in the shade to cool down. It is actually more closely related to mammals than reptiles.

Rugops

The Rugops was discovered 2000 by a team led by dr. Paul Sereno. The Rugops was a carnivorous therapod dinosaur from the continent of Africa. It was probably a pack hunter hunting in small groups. It's discovery helped fill in critical gaps in the evolution of carnivorous dinosaurs in Africa.

Diplocaulus

The Diplocaulus actually lived before the dinosaurs! It lived In the Permian Period 270 million years ago, before the first dinosaur. It is actually a prehistoric amphibian. It was discovered 1878, in Texas. Diplocaulus means "Double Caul" because of it's boomerang shaped head. It is in the Lepospondyl.

Giraffatitan

The Giraffatitan is a real thing! It was discovered 1914. Giraffatitan means "Giant Giraffe". Their is only one known species of Giraffatitan, Giraffatitan Brancai. Named after a German Paleontologist Wilhelm Von Branca. It was discovered at Tanzania, in the Tendaguru Formation. Giraffatitan is actually the second biggest dinosaur ever! Giraffatitan was originally named a species of Brachiosaurus, but later they "discovered" it was a new dinosaur! It lived in the Late Jurassic Period. {When?}

Allosaurus

Allosaurus was discovered 1877 by Othneil Charles Marsh. Allosaurus lived in the Jurassic Period about 155 million to 150 million. It was a theropod. It's main source of prey were definitely Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus. It's main enemy is Ceratosaurus, always competing for territory. Allosaurus means "Different Lizard". Did you know, the Allosaurus has it's own movie? I've seen it! It is called... well... Allosaurus. It tells you about the life of an Allosaurus. An Allosaurus lived a dangerous life. Almost all the skelotons of Allosaurus have broken bone in them.

Deinosuchus

The non-dinosaur Deinosuchus was discovered 1850. It was named 1909. Deinosuchus looks like a dinosaur, but it actually isn't! It has different... origins? I don't actually know why it isn't a dinosaur. But I once thought it was too. The name means "Terrible Crocodile". It lived 80 million to 73 million years ago. In the Cretaceous Period. Not much is known of this extinct animal.

Torosaurus

The Torosaurus was discovered 1891 by John Bell Hatcher. This dinosaur's closest relative is Triceratops. In fact, scientists think that the Triceratops might just be a younger Torosaurus. Which would explain why Triceratops is so rare. So eventually their might not be a Triceratops. Torosaurus lived about 68 million to 66 million years ago. Torosaurus was named by Othneil Charles Marsh. It was discovered at Saskatchewan, Canada. Torosaurus was a genus of Ceratopsian, or Horned Lizards. It was a good source of prey for the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
