Scale diagram comparing a human and the longest-known dinosaurs of five major clades An adult male bee hummingbird, the smallest known and the smallest living dinosaur. Size is an important aspect of dinosaur paleontology, of interest to both the general public and professional scientists.
Compsognathus (/ kɒmpˈsɒɡnəθəs /; [1] Greek kompsos /κομψός; "elegant", "refined" or "dainty", and gnathos /γνάθος; "jaw") [2] is a genus of small, bipedal, carnivorous theropod dinosaur. Members of its single species Compsognathus longipes could grow to around the size of a chicken. They lived about 150 million years ago ...
Deinocheirus (/ ˌdaɪnoʊˈkaɪrəs / DY-no-KY-rəs) is a genus of large ornithomimosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous around 70 million years ago. In 1965, a pair of large arms, shoulder girdles, and a few other bones of a new dinosaur were first discovered in the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia. In 1970, this specimen became the ...
Not every adult Tyrannosaurus specimen recovered is as big. Historically average adult mass estimates have varied widely over the years, from as low as 4.5 t (4.4 long tons; 5.0 short tons), [37] [38] to more than 7.2 t (7.1 long tons; 7.9 short tons), [39] with most modern estimates ranging between 5.4 and 8.0 t (5.3 and 7.9 long tons; 6.0 and ...
Argentinosaurus is a genus of giant sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina.Although it is only known from fragmentary remains, Argentinosaurus is one of the largest known land animals of all time, perhaps the largest, measuring 30–35 metres (98–115 ft) long and weighing 65–80 tonnes (72–88 short tons).
Of the 1,000 people who were surveyed, results indicated that about 41 percent of Americans are on the fence about dinosaurs and humans coexisting. 14 percent of people responded with 'definitely ...
Welles, 1954. Dilophosaurus (/ daɪˌloʊfəˈsɔːrəs, - foʊ -/ [1] dy-LOH-fə-SOR-əs, -foh-) is a genus of theropod dinosaurs that lived in what is now North America during the Early Jurassic, about 186 million years ago. Three skeletons were discovered in northern Arizona in 1940, and the two best preserved were collected in 1942.
G. libratus adult and subadult with a human for scale. Gorgosaurus was smaller than Tyrannosaurus or Tarbosaurus, close in size to Albertosaurus. Adults reached 8 to 9 m (26 to 30 ft) in length from snout to tail, [8] [7] [20] and weighed 2–3 metric tons (2.2–3.3 short tons) in body mass.
