The title and description vary based on the current
Proposed Taxon: | Title | Description |
---|---|---|
1 - Dinosaur | saurischian | The animal must have walked with a reptilian gait. |
11 - Saurischien | a sauropod | The bone seems on the stockier side. |
12 - Ornithischian | stegosaurian | The characteristic orientation of the bones must have come from a ground vegetation grazer. |
111 - Sauropod | a diplodocus | One of the largest Mesozoic beasts, characterized by its long tail. |
112 - Theropod | an allosaurus | One of the fiercest, largest hunters ever to live. |
121 - Stegosaurian | a stegosaurus | The exact combination of size and structure is unmistakable. |
122 - Ornithopod | an iguanodon | You don't have its horn, but you're still certain. |

Description summary:
The description varies based on the new level of
Proposed Taxon: | Description |
---|---|
11 - Saurischian | It is, perhaps, a leap to infer the shape of the hips from a limb bone. But palaeontology is a science of careful inferences. |
111 - Sauropod | You are surely looking at one of the very largest beasts to ever walk the earth. |
121 - Stegosaurian | This bone must have come from mid-sized dinosaur with a quadruped stance. |
1111 - Diplodocus | Diplodocus is known for its long tail and even longer neck – a sort of walking bridge that waded the swamps of the Jurassic. |
1121 - Allosaurus | Allosaurus was a monstrous hunter of the Jurassic, a beast that could have devoured a buffalo in a single snap of its colossal jaws. |
1211 - Stegosaurus | Speculation abounds over the purpose of the plates on Stegosaurus' back. Perhaps your own specimen can help shed light on the matter. |
1221 - Iguanodon | One of the best-known dinosaurs, the anatomy of Iguanodon's horn has been a point of substantial contention among zoologists. |
