Brad is right, Scutellosaurus is not a nodosaurid or ankylosaur, it was a basal thyrephoran, i.e. the common ancestor of Stegosauria and Ankylosauria.

Good question, Kathleen. The best place to learn about names is www.dinosauria.com- you can even hear what they should sound like. Here's what I found about Liopleurodon.

Leios = smooth
Pleuron = side
Don = tooth

Don (and Leios and Pleuron too) is actually a Greek word, not Latin.

Yeah, I found fossils alright!!7,8, 1000! All in one spot!!!
most of em were chunks of dried mud. One, the strangest one,
that is, was a big, rounded rock which had a big, curved bone that looked like a kind of tooth or claw. I am not really sure what kind of dinosaur it is.I'll take it to school next week. Dino-Bye!
from Brandon. K, age 9, Los Angeles, California, USA; April 11, 2001

I'm not so sure about that, Azura. Tyrannosaurid are known only from North America and Asia; so are Ankylosaurids. Other coelurosaur families closely related to the Tyrannosaurs, like Troodontids and Ornithomimids, are known from North America, Asia, and Europe. Close relatives of Ankylosaurids are known from North America, Europe, and Australia.

Iguanodonts have been found almost worldwide, as have Allosaurs. Ceratopids are limited to North America, but cannot be called rare. I'd say the dinosaurs least often found are Therizinosaurids- Asia only, and no complete skeletons that I know of.
from Brad, age 14, Woodville, ON, Canada; April 11, 2001

Kannemeyeria and Protoceratops do look similar overall, but their skulls were quite different.

Here's a Protoceratops skull-

(I'll find a good one to put here later, I have to go now)

And here's a dicynodont skull (I couldn't find a true Kannemeyeria, but this is in the same order)

http://www.kheper.auz.com/gaia/biosphere/vertebrates/therapsida/Emydops_jaw_articulation.gif

There is also over 100 million years separating the two with no possible tranitional forms.

Saltoposuchus was a crocodylomorph, not a dinosaur. (And no dinosaurs evolved from crocodiles!) It was kind of strange for a crocodile, becuase it was small and ran on its hind legs. Some people have suggested that archaeopteryx evolved from small bipedal crocodiles, but I don't think anyone believes that anymore. Saltoposuchus may not have had any descendants at all.
from Brad, age 14, Woodville, ON, Canada; April 11, 2001

Well , the thing about Dinosaurs is : Many Dinosaurs , at least a few, were not like the others. Dinosaurs like "Tyrannosaurus" are known all over the world. Ankylosaurus are much less known.
from Azura, age 7, Miami, Florida, ?; April 10, 2001

oops i meant to say Protoceratops in that last post about my theory...{flips to page 9.}i did get the idea from part two THE FIRST DINOSAURS yeah.
from Archaeopteryx, age 7, ?, ?, ?; April 10, 2001

well Dinosaurs did start out as small creatures. Kannemeyeria and Protoveratops do have similar structure that's how i guessed my theory. they *might've* had similar behavior...but don't think that i'm right on this cause i only go with the information i know and the information i got in an old dinosaur book i found laying on my bookshelf called DINOSAURS. well back to the Protoceratops and other thingie. well that's why i think Protoceratops might've evolved from Kannemeyeria. and i'm trying to think of what MIGHT'VE evolved from Saltoposuchus.
from Archaeopteryx, age 7, ?, ?, ?; April 10, 2001

Masiakosaurus, despite being really cool, still has 0 votes. There are still some extrememly dubious dinosaurs I haven't voted for yet, a bunch of recently named sauropods, and many others.

I'm still a bit confused by the voting page. Tyrannosaurus rex is the only dinosaur with the species name listed. A few taxa above genus level have been included- "raptors", for example. "Longneck" is assumed to mean Apatosaurus for no reason, though- I'd count it as a Sauropoda vote, or most likely just not count it at all.
from Brad, age 14, Woodville, ON, Canada; April 10, 2001
I just added raptors recently because of the increased number of votes that this group began to get. There have been no (or very few) votes for the genus Tyrannosaurus, only the species T. rex, so that's the listing I used (listing Tyrannosaurus and not T. rex would also confuse the younger voters). As to "long neck" - I don't like to throw away votes. If I had to do it over again, I would give it a separate listing as "long neck" (and I still might someday, when I have the time). JC

Post more details about your Kannemeyeria/Protoceratops theory. It's always good to hear some fresh new ideas.
from Brad, age 14, Woodville, ON, Canada; April 10, 2001

One hundred million years ago, give or take a few, a Seismosaurus was swallowing some stones. Like birds, sauropods used gizzard stones to masticate their food. This particular beastie swallowed a stone that was too large and choked to death.
Swallowing a stone that's too big is not too bright. Leaving your remains around for one hundred million years for paleontologists to figure out exactly how stupid you were deserves the prize.

from Archaeopteryx, age 7, ?, ?, ?; April 10, 2001

I shall refrain from engaging in your childish form of dino bashing to show I'm nto at your level. T.Rex sits secure in the knowledge that it's still the top (go look at the voting page) apparently, the fact your name is Spudhead shows the level of your intelligence.
from Trex fan, age ?, ?, ?, ?; April 10, 2001

Nobody likes Scutellosaurus, nobody with a brain that is. The fact that Scutellosaurus has 3 votes proves sadly that some people apparently don't have one.

Nobody will ever vote for Scutellosaurus! It only has a pathetic 3 votes! Why? Because Scutellosaurus is lame and puny. Now stop annoying us with your flea-tatics Scutellosaurus fans! Can Scutellosaurus ever amount to anything? No. We don't have to tell people to vote for the immortal Tyrannosaurus Rex. And unlike what it says in Mike's stories, in real life, Tyrannosaurus Rex will open a fresh can of Whupp Arse (tm) everytime on the small and lame Scutellosaurus.

*Stegosaurus (2)
*Ceratosaurus
*Allosaurus
*Tyrannosaurus (cast)
*Triceratops (skeleton is under renovation, but skull on display)

from Chandler, age ?, ?, ?, ?; April 4, 2001

Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus' skulls are quite heavy, though not as much as Tyrannosaurus. They still needed strong skulls because they were active at hunting as well, although they used tactics similar to Allosaurus (use claws and teeth to make bleeding wounds that perhaps slowly killed prey) and Tyrannosaurus used only its mouth to make huge gashes that perhaps killed prey more quickly.
from Chandler, age ?, ?, ?, ?; April 4, 2001

I think that Dreamworks claims that the sauropod in TLW is Mamenchisaurus, so that's what they probably meant it to be.
from Chandler, age ?, ?, ?, ?; April 4, 2001

Hello people!
I just wanted to add my two cents in the Spinosaurus vs. Giganatosaurus vs. Tyrannosaurus battle. Well, I am now biaised but, I think Tyrannosaurus would win both fights. I am not talking about the physical fights, but I am talking about size and the biomechanics of all three animals. The reason why Tyrannosuaurs is more advanced is the skull is built for power. The massive skull of Sue the T-rex shows the epitome of a carnivore, whereas the skulls of Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus are lightly built and relatively thin in comparison. What the media and the scientific journals don't tell the public, is Sue is actually larger than both the latter. There is another fact that people rarely know about is Tyrannosaurus Rex as a species has a feature no another dinosaur has is, that its snout is pinched in from its skull, giving us a hint that the animal may have had stereoscopic vision. Tyrannosaurus is the only dinosaur with both its eye sockets side by side and facing forward, whi! le Spinosaurus and Gigonatosaurus have both thier eye sockets on the sides of thier skulls, facing outward, giving us another hint that they did not see in 3-D and they had to cock thier heads side ways, like modern day birds to see what's on the ground. The same goes for Charcharodontosaurs. That is my main gripe. Overall, I love dinosaurs together, I hope all of you enjoy them as much as I do!! Thank you and God bless you all!!
Sincerely,
Kevin

Fight over a carcass? I don't consider that a great possibility given the fact that Carcharodontosaurus could easily drive Spinosaurus away from a carcass. Believe me, I don't think it would be in Spinosaurus' best intrests to argue with Carcharodontosaurus over food. It was simply not strong enough to put up a good fight.

Ha? What's new? Spinosaurus is another dinosaur to be sadly misconcepted by the incredibily entertaining but yet inaccucrate JP series. Well, at least they didn't bungle Spinosaurus like the Velociraptors...instead of getting the dimentions wrong by 400 percent oversize, they only got it wrong by about 40 to 50 percent this time round... still, this kinda makes me wonder what they were thinking when they made the movie...
