Dinosaur Train is an animated television series aimed at preschoolers ages 3 to 6 and created by Craig Bartlett, who also created Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold!. [2] The series features a Tyrannosaurus rex named Buddy who, together with the rest of his family, who are all Pteranodons, takes the Dinosaur Train to explore the Mesozoic, and have adventures with a variety of dinosaurs.
Dinosaur coloration is generally one of the unknowns in the field of paleontology, as skin pigmentation is nearly always lost during the fossilization process. However, recent studies of feathered dinosaurs and skin impressions have shown the colour of some species can be inferred through the use of melanosomes , the colour-determining pigments ...
Mamenchisaurus (/ m ə ˌ m ʌ n tʃ i ˈ s ɔː r ə s / mə-MUN-chee-SOR-əs, Dinosauria Translation and Pronunciation Guide M or spelling pronunciation / m ə ˌ m ɛ n tʃ ɪ ˈ s ɔː r ə s /) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur known for their remarkably long necks [2] which made up nearly half the total body length.

This has enabled multiple full-body reconstructions of dinosaur colouration, such as for Sinosauropteryx [83] and Psittacosaurus [84] by Jakob Vinther and colleagues, and similar techniques have also been extended to dinosaur fossils from other localities. [80] (However, some researchers have also suggested that fossilized melanosomes represent ...
Sinosauropteryx (meaning "Chinese reptilian wing") is a compsognathid dinosaur. Described in 1996, it was the first dinosaur taxon outside of Avialae (birds and their immediate relatives) to be found with evidence of feathers. It was covered with a coat of very simple filament-like feathers.
All carnivorous dinosaurs (certain types of theropods) are traditionally classified as saurischians, as are all of the birds and one of the two primary lineages of herbivorous dinosaurs, the sauropodomorphs. At the end of the Cretaceous Period, all saurischians except birds became extinct in the course of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction ...
Bearing a large bony frill, three horns on the skull, and a large, four-legged body, exhibiting convergent evolution with bovines and rhinoceroses, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best-known ceratopsian. It was also one of the largest, measuring around 8–9 m (26–30 ft) long and weighing up to 6–10 t (5 ...
