About Rhomaleosaurus

Cruising the English coastline more than 175 million years ago, the Rhomaleosaurus (Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni) was a large marine reptile of the Mesozoic era. This amazing predator was believed to be over 20 feet long and fed on ichthyosaurs, ammonites, and other plesiosaurs. The first fossils were unearthed in an Alum quarry near Whitby, England in 1848. Rhomaleosaurus was later given its scientific name by Harry Seeley (a British paleontologist) in 1874.

About Cryolophosaurus

Best known for its distinctive head crest, the cryolophosaurus was a carnivorous theropod dinosaur of the early Jurassic period. Fossils of this dinosaur were first discovered by paleonotologist Dr. William Hammer in 1991 in the Hanson Formation of Antarctica. Cryolophosaurus was informally known as “Elvisaurus”, due to its head crest’s resemblance to the famous singer’s pompadour hair style. Cryolophosaurus was believed to be about 21 feet long and weighed over 1,000 pounds.

About Tylosaurus

An early ancestor of snakes and monitor lizards, the tylosaurus was a mosasaur (a large, predatory marine lizard) of the late Cretaceous period. Tylosaurus proriger was nearly 50 feet long, and was among the largest of mosasaurs. It had an elongated snout that was probably for ramming and stunning prey. Tylosaurus was a ferocious predator, feeding on anything smaller than itself, including sharks, fish, and other marine reptiles.

About Pteranodons

The pteranodon is not really a dinosaur but a winged reptile. "Pteranodon" means "winged and toothless." These flying reptiles were closely related to dinosaurs, but were technically not included in the same group. They lived during the late Cretaceous Period - one of the great ages of dinosaurs. Pteranodon stood about 6 feet tall (and some scientists believe they did stand upright), and had a wingspan of 25 to 33 feet - longer than any known bird. They had short tails, as you can see on our plastic pteranodon replica. Most pteranodon fossils have been found in Kansas and in England. Pteranodons fed primarily on fish, and may have scooped them out of the water the way a modern-day pelican feeds.

About Velociraptors

The velociraptor, or "swift seizer," lived in the Cretaceous period in what is now Mongolia. It was a bipedal carnivore approximately seven feet long and weighing up to 33 pounds. Recent fossil evidence shows that the velociraptor was feathered. The raised toe and claw are typical of the real-life dinosaur. Paleontologists believe the toe-claw was used to slay the velociraptor's prey. Read more about the velociraptor and its interesting claws here!

About the Triceratops

The triceratops, meaning three horned face, appeared on the scene during the Late Cretaceous about 65 million years ago. No full skeletons have been found, but many bones have been discovered throughout North America in Alberta, Montana, South Dakota, Saskatchewan,and Wyoming. Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body, it looks similar to the modern day rhinoceros. It was a vegetarian and possessed a sturdy build, with strong limbs and short, five-hoofed hands and four-hoofed feet. It was almost 10 feet high and 25 feet in length.
