DINO EGG ZONEE

Dinosaur eggs are eggs laid by dinosaurs. The fossilized egg was first discovered in England in the 1859 and was mistaken for a giant bird egg. Today, there has been many nesting sites found and the eggs were being studied based on their composition, structure and to know which era they came from.

TYRANNOSAURUS REX (T-REX)

‘Tyrannosaurus’ comes from the Greek words meaning ‘tyrant lizard’, while the word ‘rex’ means ‘king’ in Latin

They lived around 66 million years ago. It is considered an active predator and scavenger, and was considered the largest carnivore in its environment.

T-rex had small arms that were extremely powerful and featured two clawed fingers.

Size: 13m length, 4m tall, and up to 7,000 kgs in weight

STEGOSAURUS

Stegosaurus means “roof lizard” or “covered lizard” in reference to its bony plates. A large, heavily built plant eater (herbivore) dinosaur that lived during late Jurassic period, or probably 150 million years ago.

The name ‘Stegosaurus’ comes from the Greek words ‘stegos’ meaning roof and ‘sauros’ meaning lizard.

There are 17 plates found along the back of the Stegosaurus. The largest plates were around 60cm (2ft) tall and 60cm (2ft) wide.

Size: 9 metres in length, 4 metres in height and up to nearly 5,000 kgs in weight.

PACHYCEPHALOSAURUS

Means the thick headed lizard, its Skull Roof was Up to 10 Inches Thick. It is a 14-feet bipedal herbivore lizard known to a bony dome shape skull, which is believed to be use in intra-species combat.

Size: Around 4.5m long and about 450 kgs

TRICERATOPS

The name ‘Triceratops’ comes from the Greek language, with ‘tri’ meaning three and ‘keratops’ meaning horned face.

Three horned herbivorous lived in the late Cretaceous Period (around 65 million years ago). The Triceratops is one of the most easily recognizable dinosaurs due to its large body, unique frill and three horns.

Size: 8m length, 3m height, and between 6,000-12,000kgs in weight.

T-REX SKELETON

The first Tyrannosaurus rex fossil was discovered by the famous fossil hunter Barnum Brown in 1902. T.rex was named in 1906 by Henry Fairfield Osborn. Osborn also named another huge Cretaceous theropod, calling it Dynamosaurus imperiosus (meaning “powerful, mighty lizard”). Osborn later made Dynamosaurus a synonym of Tyrannosaurus, realizing that they were the same.

Only about 30 Tyrannosaurus fossils have been found, mostly in the western part of the United States. T. Rex probably had about 200 bones, roughly the same as us (No one knows exactly how many it had, since no complete T. Rex Skeletons have been found). About a dozen T. Rex Skeletons have been found.
