In-depth information on a variety of interesting dinosaurs from all around the world. Discover facts such as size, weight, range, where found, habitat, diet, conservation status, behavior and more.
Daemonosaurus was a small dinosaur from the Late Triassic period that lived in what is now North America.
Discovered in the Ghost Ranch dinosaur fossil hotspot in New Mexico, this small carnivorous dinosaur, measuring approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in length and weighing around 15 kilograms (33 pounds), is distinguished by its short skull and large teeth.
Camposaurus was an early theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period in North America. Very little is known about this bipedal predator, which was discovered in Arizona, USA, as only limited fossil remains have been discovered.
Alwalkeria was an early saurischian dinosaur from the Late Triassic period. The only known Alwalkeria specimen to have been discovered offers a fascinating glimpse into the early stages of dinosaur evolution.
Discovered in the Maleri Formation of India, this small, agile omnivore lived approximately 228 to 200 million years ago.
Barosaurus was a giant, plant-eating sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America in the Late Jurassic Period, approximately 155 to 150 million years ago.
This enormous dinosaur, whose name means “heavy lizard,” was distinguished by its exceptional size, featuring a remarkably long neck and tail that made it one of the longest dinosaurs ever discovered.
Discovered in the rich fossil beds of North America’s Morrison Formation, Barosaurus belonged to the same family – Diplodocidae – as the closely-related Diplodocus.
Hylaeosaurus was a plant-eating Ankylosaur that lived in what is now southern England in the Early Cretaceous Period.
Discovered in the early 19th century, Hylaeosaurus stands as a pivotal figure in the history of paleontology. As one of the first three reptiles to be scientifically described—alongside Iguanodon and Megalosaurus—Hylaeosaurus played a crucial role in defining the very concept of dinosaurs.
Camarasaurus, known for its distinctive box-like skull and robust body, was a sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period. It is the most commonly-found sauropod in the Morrison Formation, a famous dinosaur fossil site in the western United States.
Carcharodontosaurus, one of the most formidable predators of the mid-Cretaceous period, roamed North Africa approximately 100 to 93 million years ago.
This massive theropod, whose name means “shark-toothed lizard,” was named for its large, serrated teeth, which were similar to those of today’s great white shark.
Measuring up to 13 meters (43 feet) in length and weighing as much as 15,000 kilograms (33,000 pounds), Carcharodontosaurus was a dominant force in its ecosystem.
Discovered in the Sahara Desert in the 1920s, this dinosaur has since captured the fascination of paleontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts alike, providing critical insights into the diverse and dynamic world of prehistoric predators.
Argentinosaurus, whose name means “Argentine lizard”, is one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. A member of a group of huge sauropods known as Titanosaurs, Argentinosaurus roamed South America during the Late Cretaceous period.
Herrerasaurus, one of the earliest known dinosaurs, is pivotal in our understanding of dinosaur evolution.
First discovered in Argentina’s Ischigualasto Formation, this Triassic predator roamed the Earth approximately 230 million years ago, a time when the landscape of the supercontinent Pangaea was dramatically different from today.
Plateosaurus was a large, bipedal herbivore, and an important member of the sauropodomorph lineage that eventually gave rise to the giant sauropods such as Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus.

Eoraptor, one of the earliest known dinosaurs, gives us a fascinating glimpse into the dawn of dinosaur evolution. Discovered in the Ischigualasto Formation of Argentina, Eoraptor roamed the Earth approximately 231.4 million years ago, during the Late Triassic Period.
Amazingly, this small, agile dinosaur, measuring just 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length and weighing up to 10 kilograms (22 pounds), is thought to be an ancestor of huge sauropod dinosaurs such as Apatosaurus and Diplodocus.
