Dimorphodon
“Now, you’d think a mouthful of teeth would be scary enough, but this animal – the Dimorphodon – actually has two distinct types of teeth in its jaws. And it flies! Well, more accurately, glides.”— Claire Dearing Dimorphodon (“two-form tooth”) is a pterosaur believed to belong to the family Rhamphorhynchoidea from the Early Jurassic Period […]

Dilophosaurus 1 of 4

Coelurus
“The Ankylosaurus. This is a herbivorous quadruped. Late Cretaceous. This is one of the largest armored dinosaurs. Known by paleontologists as a living tank.” – Gunnar Eversoll Coelurus was a small predator that walked on two legs. Many of its bones had very thin walls, making them very light. Coelurus may have been one of […]
Ceratosaurus
“Now this dinosaur is something special. Well, they’re all special, but this one stands out because of the horns on top of its head. It’s called Ceratosaurus. It kinda looks like a slightly smaller T. rex. But its bite is probably about the same.” — Claire Dearing Ceratosaurus was a medium sized carnivore that lived […]
