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. |
