    An Introduction to
    Dinosaurs
     2 CENTURIES AND 4 DECIMALS AGO THERE WERE DINOSAURS.
     The first ever description of a dinosaur fossil had been by Robert Plot, first director of
    the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford in his Natural History of Oxford-shire of 1677. It
    was the distal end of a femur and had been found in the village of Cornwell in
    Oxfordshire.
     SIR Richard Owen came up with the word “dinosaur" in 1841. He needed a new word
    to describe the fossils of extinct reptiles that were being discovered. “Dinosaur" was
    created by combining the Greek words dinos, which means “terrible giant and saurus,
    which means “lizard."
    APPEARENCE
     Now we will tell you about dinosaur’s appearance.
    Dinosaurs show some of the most extreme
    variations in size of any land animal group,
    ranging from tiny hummingbirds, which can
    weigh as little as two grams, to the extinct
    titanosaurs, which could weigh as much as 50–
    100 t (55–110 short tons). Some dinosaurs, like
    Ornithomimus and Gallimimus, did not have
    teeth. On the other end of the
    spectrum, Tyrannosaurus rex had 50 to 60 solid
    cone-shaped teeth as big as bananas. Hadrosaurs,
    or duck-billed dinosaurs, had the most teeth: up to
    960 cheek teeth! Dinosaur teeth were
    replaceable.There were some with there special
    abilities that you can sea in the picture here.
    THE ERA OF
    DINOSAURS
     Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which is often
    referred to as the "Age of Dinosaurs." The Mesozoic Era
    spanned from approximately 252 million years ago to 66
    million years ago and is divided into three major periods:
    the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. Each period within
    the Mesozoic Era had its own distinct environmental
    conditions and a variety of dinosaur species adapted to
    those habitats. It was a time of significant evolution and
    diversification for these fascinating creatures before their
    eventual extinction at the end of the Cretaceous Period,
    marking the transition to the Cenozoic Era.
    THE FIRST FOSSIL OF DINOSAUR

    the Reverend William Buckland, a geologist and


    paleontologist, described the fossil in 1824.
    Buckland's recognition of the fossil as belonging
    to a large extinct reptile laid the foundation for
    the formal recognition of dinosaurs as a distinct
    group of animals. This event marked the
    beginning of the scientific study of dinosaurs
    and the field of paleontology, transforming our
    understanding of Earth's ancient past. The
    subsequent discoveries of various dinosaur
    fossils around the world have continued to shape
    our knowledge of these fascinating creatures.
    Extinction of dinosaurs
     66 million years dinosaurs had a bad day . An asteroid hatted towards the earth and it was theiga and
    hitted the earth and killed many dinosaurs . To wipe than again Deccan plateau eruption and the
    Chicxulub wiped them away from the earth .
    Thanks !

    KNOW THE BASIC FACTS ABOUT DINOSAURS NOW.
