Dinosaur Picture Wallpaper: Make Your Desktop or Phone Look Cool with Dinosaurs
Whether you are a kid, student, or teacher, you'll find a rich set of dinosaur names, pictures, and facts here. This site is built with PaleoDB, a scientific database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists over the past two decades.
A team of Argentinean and U.S. scientists has found fossils of a duck-billed dinosaur, along with remains of Antarctica's most ancient bird and an array of giant marine reptiles, on Vega Island off the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula.

The tooth of a duck-billed dinosaur, or hadrosaur, was found in sands about 66-67 million years old, from the Cretaceous period (about 1-2 million years before the asteroid impact that contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs). The team that found the fossils is headed by Sergio Marenssi of the Instituto Antartico Argentino and Judd Case of St. Mary's College, California.
"This is the first duck-billed dinosaur to be found outside the Americas," said Mike Woodburne, University of California-Riverside paleontologist who is part of the project. "This gives us more support for the idea of a land bridge between South America and Antarctica at that time." The land bridge was used not only by dinosaurs but probably also by marsupial mammals dispersing from the Americas to Australia via Antarctica.
The hadrosaurs are a distinctive group of American dinosaurs, known for fancy crests on their skulls with networks of passageways that may have been used for vocalization and that may suggest the animals were social. Some stood perhaps 20 feet tall.
"This find allows us to paint a much fuller picture of what life was like in Antarctica at the time," commented Scott Borg, NSF program manager for Antarctic geology and geophysics. "The climate was obviously very different when these animals lived. There must have been a lot of vegetation to support these large plant-eaters. The find implies a complicated and robust ecosystem."
The region around Vega Island is extremely rich in both terrestrial and marine fossils, and the only such fossil trove in Antarctica to span the boundary of the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods, the time when the dinosaurs were wiped out.
Dilophosaurus is the dinosaur believed to have made the tracks that are on display in the Exhibit Center. The first large carnivorous dinosaurs appeared in the early Jurassic. The Eubrontes tracks, which are the most abundant large fossil track found in the central valley of Connecticut, are attributed to an 18 to 20-foot long predator. This ceratosaur quite likely was related to Dilophosaurus.
More than two miles of trails at Dinosaur State Park cover a variety of habitats, including a red maple swamp and shrub swamp and meadows. The forest area has sugar maple, birch, hickory, oak and beech trees. A traprock ridge reveals broken pieces of basaltic rock that once flowed as hot lava covering the habitat of Connecticut's dinosaurs.
Dinosaur State Park officially opened in 1968, two years after 2,000 dinosaur tracks were accidentally uncovered during excavation for a new state building. Five hundred of the tracks are now enclosed within the Exhibit Center's geodesic dome.The remaining 1,500 are buried for preservation.

After exploring the Natural History Museum in London my kids discovered that there was a lot more to the prehistoric world than just dinosaurs and in The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures not only are dinosaurs covered but also some of the other creatures that roamed the world before man.
Part of the fun of reading is being able to escape into the imagination and fun of the authors and there are so many fun dinosaur themed fiction books for toddlers and preschoolers that teach concepts, make you laugh and more. Here are a few of our favourites that my kids loved growing up.
I spent many a wet afternoon cuddling up on the sofa reading and watching dinosaur train. I loved the way that they mixed in facts and fictions and it was one of the few programmes that I could happily watch over and over again in Dinosaur Train: Triceratops for Lunch Little Golden Book you watch as they prepare for the triceratops twins arrival and work out what to feed them as well as learning about Herbivores and Carnivores.
Another favourite with many children is Thomas the tank engine and it was the same with my kids, in fact the train set with dinosaur fossils was one of their favourite to play with when they were little so finding the accompanying book was a hit with them and in Thomas and the Dinosaur you can read the story and then react it with your toy dinosaurs and train set.

The newest set of picture-word cards for the Picture Word Cards collection is the much-requested dinosaurs set! There are actually two sets. One set has 12 dinosaur cards with their looong names and pictures. The other set has a variety of words related to dinosaurs (egg, bone, claw, volcano, etc.) which are shorter and probably easier for prekinder kids. However, you may have some young paleontologists in your class who will want to write (or at least look at) the long dinosaur words.

Welcome to the Active Wild list of dinosaurs. This page contains a list of dinosaur names with pictures and information. Here you can learn about the many different kinds of dinosaur that existed in the Mesozoic Era.
Abelisaurus comahuensis skull. Photo by Kokoo [CC BY-SA 2.5]We start our list of dinosaurs with Abelisaurus, a predatory theropod dinosaur of the late Cretaceous Period. Abelisaurus was a medium-sized, bipedal* dinosaur that was probably between 7 and 9 metres (23 and 29 ft.) in length.
Being able to piece together a picture of how dinosaurs lived from the limited clues available to us is an important part of paleontology. (Paleontology, or palaeontology in British English, is the scientific study of prehistoric life. )
Apatosaurus was a huge sauropod dinosaur. It lived in the late Jurassic Period. It weighed between 20 and 30 metric tonnes (22 and 33 short tons), and was around 20 to 23 metres (65 and 75 ft.) in length.
Iguanodon was the second dinosaur ever to be named. The first Iguanodon fossil was a tooth. It was discovered in England by the wife of medical doctor and geologist Dr Gideon Mantell. Mantell named the specimen Iguanodon, because the tooth resembled that of an iguana.
Leaellynasaura. Image by Danny Cicchetti [CC BY-SA 3.0] Click to enlarge image.This small bipedal dinosaur was just under 1 metre (3 ft.) in length. It was first discovered in the Australian dinosaur hotspot Dinosaur Cove.
Minmi was a heavily armoured small dinosaur of the Ankylosauria family. Its body, including its undersides, was covered with bony plates. It had longer legs than most of its relatives, suggesting that, despite being heavily armoured, it could move quickly.
Ornithomimus. Image by Tom Parker [CC BY-SA 4.0]Ornithomimus was an ostrich-like dinosaur. Around 3.5 metres (11.5 ft.) long, Ornithomimus had long legs and a long, thin neck. It would have been able to run at high speeds, possibly reaching over 40 mph (64 km/h).
Spinosaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur of the late Cretaceous Period. Growing up to 15 metres (49 ft.) in length and 23 metric tonnes (25.35 short tons) in weight, it was larger than the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Despite its small size, troodon was well armed. It had sharp teeth, clawed fingers, and an enlarged, sickle-shaped claw on each of its feet. This intelligent dinosaur was fast, agile, and equipped with good eyesight. 2b4c41e320
