What Dinosaur?

Genus: triceratops Classification: Ornithischia, Marginocephalia, Ceratopsia Length: 9m  Weight: 12 000kg  Diet: herbivorous Period: late Cretaceous Like all ceratopsians, Triceratops had a large outgrowth of bones at the back of the skull which protect the soft neck area. Research suggest that it used its horns as defensive weapons against predators, such as tyrannosaurus Rex. However, in dinosaurs such as Styracosaurus, they were only a few centimeters thick, so they wouldn't have been strong enouh to actually fight. Follow Tigers Super Sports on Facebook

Genus: Pachycephalosaurus Classification: Ornithischia, Marginocephalia, Pachycephalosauria Lenght: 4.5m  Weight: 450kg  Diet: herbivorous Period: Late Cretaceous Pachycephalosaurus was the largest member od Marginocephalia, measuring almost 4.5 metres long. The dome of the skull increase in height as the animal grew, and in males its was taller and more curved than in females. Pachycephalosaurus's eyes were set inside large, deep cavities, which protected them during fights. The muscles of the neck were very powerful, and the back bone was built to withstand impacts. Its wide hips help the animal to keep its balance. Follow THE MATCH today!

Genus: Velociraptor Classification: Saurichian, Theropod, Biped Length: 1.8m  Weight: 15kg  Diet: Carnivorous Period: Late Cretaceous The Fossilized skeleton of a velociraptor supports the theory that these creatures were agile and fast. Movements such as jumping, running, and springing into attack all require an energy which only a warm-blooded animal would have had. Many paleontologist are already convinced that dinosaurs, at least those which are smaller and quicker, must have needed to be warm-blooded. Therefore, it is likely that the Velociraptor was covered in feathers.

Genus: Spinosaurus classification: Theropoda, Tetanurae, Spinosauridae Length: 12.5-18m  Weight: 5000-9000kg  Diet: Carnivorous Period: late cretaceous Spinosaurus was well suited to catching fish. Its skull has similarities to that of crocodiles, at the edges of the mouth and in the shape of the teeth. Like crocodiles, Spinosaurus may have had pressure sensors at the tip of the snout that helped it to detect prey moving in water. This meant that it could strike at fish without being able to see them! Travel where? visit TSS Everywhere for suggestion.

Genus: Apatosaurus Classification: Saurichian, Sauropods, Diplodocoid Length: 27m  Weight: 35 tonnes  Diet: herbivorous period: Late Jurassic Apatosaurus is one of the most famous dinosaurs. At one time, it was called 'Brontosaurus' which means 'thunder lizard'. Perhaps because it is easy to imagine its heavy, rumbling steps, like thunder. Then it was discovered that the Brontosaurus and The Apatosaurus were really the same animal. Like all Diplodocoids, it was enormous, with a long whip-like tail, a long neck, small head and front legs are shorter than the rear. Tigers United : The Online Sports Magazine

Genus: Stegosaurus. Classification: Ornithischia, Thyreophora, Stegosauride. Length: 9m  Weight: 5000kg  Diet: Herbivorous Period: Early Jurassic The Stegosaurus had armour along their neck, backs and tails, in form of large triangular plates and spikes. They were four-legged, with hoof-like claws at the end of their toes. The most ancient Stegosaur was Huayangosaurus, which was about three metres in length, but Stegosaurus reached up to nine metres. At the beginning of the Creteceous Period, about 130 million years ago, these dinosaurs became extinct, possibly because of competition from new plant-eating species. 

Genus: Tyrannosaurus. Classification: Theropoda, Coelurosauria,Tyrannosauridae. Length: 12.5m  Weight: 5000kg  Diet: Carnivourous Period: Late Cretaceous Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) and its close relatives, the tyrannosaurids, evolved in the Northern Hemisphere in the late Cretaceous Period. Skeleton, teeth and footprints of these carnivores have been found in North America and Central Asia. The strength of tyrannosaurus lay in its huge jaws, powered by muscles in its temples. In 1905, Henry Fairfield Osborn, a paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, United States, came up with the name Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Genus: Ceratosaurus Classification: Saurichian, therapod, Ceratosaur Length: 6m  Weight: 1 tonne  Diet: Carnivorous Period: late Jurassic Ceratosaurus was one of the dinosaurs which had the most unusual appearance on the point of its nose, it hade an enormous horn, and a crest in front of each eye. Perhaps these features were useful for them to recognize others of the same species. The appearance of the Ceratosaurus is rather like that of the Allosaurus, with which it shared the same surroundings and the same prey. However, the Ceratosaurus was samller and each 'hand' had four digits, and not three like the Allosaurus. this fact shows that these two dinosaurs were closely related Asia Global | Total Logistics Services

Genus: Dilophosaurus Classification: Theropoda, Coelophysoidea Length: 6m  Weight: 500kg  Diet: Carnivorous Period: Early Jurassic Dilophosaurus was one of the largest coelophysoids, reaching up to 6m in length. Its name means 'two lophos (crest) reptile', since it most obvious characteristic was the complex structure of crests on its head. they were only few millimetres thick, and it is thought that they may have been used for communication and recognition, rather like cockerels use their fleshy 'combs' today.
