The closest is the Dinosaur Genera List, compiled by biological nomenclature expert George Olshevsky, which was first published online in 1995 and was regularly updated until June 2021. [1] [2] The most authoritative general source in the field is the second (2004) edition of The Dinosauria.
This list of non-avian theropod type specimens is a list of fossils that are the official standard-bearers for inclusion in the Mesozoic species and genera of the dinosaur clade Theropoda, which includes the carnivorous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, their herbivorous relatives like the therizinosaurs, and birds.

Dinosaur classification began in 1842 when Sir Richard Owen placed Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus in "a distinct tribe or suborder of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria." [1] In 1887 and 1888 Harry Seeley divided dinosaurs into the two orders Saurischia and Ornithischia, based on their hip structure. [2]
The earliest potential record of dinosaurs in North America comes from rare, unidentified (possibly theropod) footprints in the Middle-Late Triassic Pekin Formation of North Carolina. [1] However, the most reliable early record of North American dinosaurs comes from fragmentary saurischian fossils unearthed from the Upper Triassic Dockum Group ...
A lobed leaf with half-naked basal lateral veins. Common in the upper 1/3 of the Hell Creek Formation. C. puilasokensis. A palmately lobed leaf with 5 primary veins. Common in the upper 1/3 of the Hell Creek Formation. Cobbania. C. corrugata. A prehistoric species of water lettuce, previously assigned to the genus Pistia. C. hickeyi
The fauna of Morrison Formation is similar to one in the coeval rocks of Tendaguru Beds (in Tanzania) and Lourinhã Formation in Portugal, [1] mostly with the second. Some genera are shared in Morrison and Lourinhã, such as Torvosaurus, [2] Ceratosaurus, [3] Stegosaurus, Dryosaurus, [4] and Allosaurus. [5] In sum, Morrison Fm has 37 valid ...
Chart of the time-averaged census for large-bodied dinosaurs from the entire Hell Creek Formation in the study area According to studies published in 2021 by Charles Marshall et al., the total population of adult Tyrannosaurus at any given time was perhaps 20,000 individuals, with computer estimations also suggesting a total population no lower ...
