Anklyosaurus (An-kie-lo-sore-us) “The Defensive Dino”

Anklyosaurus (An-kie-lo-sore-us) “The Defensive Dino”

It is something of a paradox that one of the most popular dinosaurs of all time is understood by some of the most incomplete fossil remains.‭ ‬What can be gleaned from the available fossil material is that Ankylosaurus was one of if not the largest of the group.‭ ‬The incomplete fossil evidence however has meant that determining the exact size of Ankylosaurus is problematic and will remain so until further,‭ ‬more complete Ankylosaurus remains are discovered.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Brontosaurus (Bron-toe-saurus) “The Thunder lizard”

Brontosaurus (Bron-toe-saurus) “The Thunder lizard”

Brontosaurus meaning "thunder lizard" from Greek βροντή, brontē "thunder" and σαῦρος, sauros "lizard", is a genus of gigantic quadruped sauropod dinosaurs. Although the type species, B. excelsus, had long been considered a species of the closely related Apatosaurus, researchers proposed in 2015 that Brontosaurus is a genus separate from Apatosaurus and that it contains three species: B. excelsus, B. yahnahpin, and B. parvus.

Brachiosaurus (Brac-e-a-saurus) “The Giraffe-like Dinosaur”

Brachiosaurus (Brac-e-a-saurus) “The Giraffe-like Dinosaur”

Brachiosaurus was an unusual dinosaur that lived 155.7 million to 150.8 million years ago during the mid- to late Jurassic Period. Specimens have been found primarily in the fossil-rich Morrison Formation in North America, but the dinosaur did not resemble any of the others that roamed the region. Its long neck made it look like a giraffe, and its forelegs were longer than its hind legs. The name Brachiosaurus, in fact, means "arm lizard."
