Is it a dinosaur?


This game is designed to test your dino knowledge by asking you to identify whether or not a particular prehistoric animal is a dinosaur. You'll get a few opportunities to guess before I reveal the correct answer. Here's your first animal: Shonisaurus.

Re:


Since no-one else has bothered to have a guess, I'll give you the answer: Shonisaurus was not a dinosaur. It was actually the largest species in a group of marine reptiles called Ichthyosaurs. It lived in the oceans around Canada and the USA between 216 and 203 million years ago in the Norian stage of the late Triassic.

Check out this remarkable fossil found in Germany. It shows a female Ichthyosaur that died whilst giving birth: http://tinyurl.com/yc2mn8xx


Next animal: Was Gondwanatitan a dinosaur?

The name sounds so obscure that I'll guess it is, in fact, a dinosaur.

Smaller than a giraffe it was.

Yes, it was a dinosaur.

Re:


Correct! Gondwanatitan is a dinosaur! It's known from a single, partial skeleton found in Brazil in the mid-1980s and is named after the supercontinent Gondwana. It was a Sauropod, one of the large long-necked herbivores and lived during the Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous.


Next animal: Dimorphodon

Nope. That's a totally different kind of reptile.

Re:


Correct again! Dimorphodon was a small Pterosaur that lived in southern England during the Hettangian stage of the Early Jurassic. Pterosaurs are often incorrectly referred to as "flying dinosaurs" when they actually belonged to a different group. They are also the earliest-known vertebrates to gain true flight. Fossils of "flaplings" (baby Pterosaurs) show that the wing membranes were very well developed. This suggests they were able to fly soon after birth.

When Pterosaurs first appeared in the Late Triassic, they were no bigger than a modern seagull but, by the end of the Cretaceous, they'd evolved into massive animals, some with wingspans of up to ten metres.


Next animal: Nothronychus
