Titanosaurus
Titanosaurus is Named For the Titans Titanosaurus lived about 75 million years ago and is a member of the family Titanosauridae that consists of enormous and armored Sauropods. The genus Titanosaurus, pronounced tye-TAN-uh-SAWR-us, is another dubious name due to many discoveries of species since Titanosaurus was first discovered in 1877 by Richard Lydekker. Since that […]
Struthiomimus
Struthiomimus Is Known As An Ostrich Mimic Struthiomimus was a lightweight member of the prehistoric dinosaur world. Named officially as “ostrich mimic” (Greek), Struthiomimus is a genus of the Ornithomimidae family from the Late Cretaceous Period of Alberta, Canada.

Named primarily as designation of a similar genus to Ceratops, meaning “before Ceratops”, it is a genus considered on many platforms to be misclassified. Its type species is P. montanus. However, now […]
Prosaurolophus
