Pliosaurus Pliosaurus lived during the Late Jurassic Period and lived off of a diet of fish, squids and other marine reptiles. The genus once consisted of many species but has been cut down to only four, P. brachydeirus, P. funkei, P. macromerus, and P. portentificus. Pliosaurus was a large late jurassic oceanic macro-carnivore. This beast was probably at the top of the food chain wherever it went due to its huge size of 10 to 13 metres and huge, powerful jaws with its rosette of large teeth at the tip of its snout.

- Albertosaurus, while smaller, was more intelligent than a T-Rex. A larger brain meant these dinosaurs could strategize, finding new ways to get their prey and learning from previous mistakes. Albertosaurus was also the first in a long line of carnivorous breeds, living at least 2 million years before T-Rex.

Supersaurus Supersaurus is among the largest dinosaurs known from good remains, possibly reaching 33 to 34 meters (108 to 112 ft) in length, and a weight of 35 to 40 tons. The first described specimens of Supersaurus were individual bones that suggested a large diplodocid. A large cervical vertebra from the same quarry was later assigned to Supersaurus which indicated an incredibly long neck. This vertebra measures 1380mm and is the longest cervical known.

Apatosaurus Apatosaurus was a large, long-necked, quadrupedal animal with a long, whip-like tail. Its forelimbs were slightly shorter than its hindlimbs. Most size estimates are based on specimen CM 3018, the type specimen of A. louisae. In 1936, this was measured to be 21.8 m (72 ft), by measuring the vertebral column.

Meet the Ankylosaurus, a club wielding, bone breaking brute of a dinosaur Ankylosaurus was one of the largest ankylosaurs, a genus of armoured dinosaurs that lived throughout North America between 75 and 65.5 million years ago. Famous for both its brutal tail-mounted club and its immense bone plate armour, the Ankylosaurus was a defensive titan, capable of fending off rivals many times its size. Ankylosaurus’s focus on defence was born out of its herbivorous nature, with its entire body geared towards the consumption of foliage.

- Centrosaurus had a long, pointed nasal horn; small bumps over its eyes instead of brow horns; and a short, rounded neck frill with moderately large fenestrae (openings). Monoclonius and Centrosaurus lived at the same time and in the same places. Because they looked alike and because of the poor quality of most Monoclonius specimens, Centrosaurus and Monoclonius have been confused with each other or even considered the same dinosaur. Recent studies have confirmed that they are separate dinosaurs. Part of the proof is the unique paired processes (a hornlike growth) that grew out of the back of the frill of Centrosaurus. One pair of processes were long, grooved, banana-shaped tongues of bone that curved forward and down over the fenestrae.

Giganotosaurus: Facts About the 'Giant Southern Lizard' There is only one known species of the dinosaur: Giganotosaurus carolinii. It lived from 99.6 to 97 million years ago, during the early Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, or about about 30 million years before T. rex. First described in a 1995 study in the journal Nature, Giganotosaurus was, at the time, thought to be the largest carnivorous dinosaur.

Stegosaurus: Bony Plates & Tiny Brain Stegosaurus was an herbivore, as its toothless beak and small teeth were not designed to eat flesh and its jaw was not very flexible. Interestingly, unlike other herbivorous, beaked dinosaurs (including Triceratops and the duck-billed Hadrosaurids), Stegosaurus did not have strong jaws and grinding teeth.

Ankylosaurus Hate. 1. Ankylosaurus was a huge armored dinosaur almost as big as a battle tank and just about as hard to destroy. Ankylosaurus lived in the late Cretaceous period, about 65 to 75 million years ago.It grew up to 35 feet (10.7 meters) long and six feet (1.8 meters) wide and about 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. If Ankylosaurus had wheels instead of four legs it would have easily flattened anything in its path.

Ceratosaurus Whatever its place in the theropod family tree, it's clear that Ceratosaurus was a fierce carnivore, gobbling up pretty much any living thing it happened across--including fish, aquatic reptiles, and both herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs (the marine component of its diet can be inferred from the fact that Ceratosaurus had a more flexible and crocodile-like tail than other carnivores, which presumably allowed it to swim with greater agility).
