The fossils of Brontosaurus were found in Nine Mile Quarry and Bone Cabin Quarry at Wyoming, at sites in Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah. The cervical vertebrae of Brontosaurus was less elongated and more heavily constructed than Diplodocus. The bones of the leg was stockier though elongated, this proved that the Brontosaurus was a robust animal. The Brontosaurus carries its tail above the ground during locomotion. Like all sauropods, the Brontosaurus has one big claw in each forelimb and three toes with claws on the hind lim. The real name of Brontosaurus is derived from Greek works ‘apatelos’ which means deceptive and sauros which means ‘lizard’.

13. Corythosaurus:

Corythosaurus is a type of duck billed dinosaur that belonged to the Upper Cretaceous period. The dinosaur existed on the face of the Earth 77 million years ago. The name Corythosaurus is derived from Greek, which means ‘helmet lizard’. The name and description of this dinosaur was given by Barnum Brown in 1914. It is easy to detect a corythosaurus specimen from skeletons because of the tall crests. It is believed that the crest helped in vocalization. The air used to pass through various chambers of the crest and would get amplified when the corythosaurus exhaled. All the skeletons of Corythosaurus were found with food preserved in the chest cavity. This gives us some evidence that this dinosaur had conifer needles, seed, twig and fruits. It looked scary no doubt, but it didn’t harm humans! 

14. Lystrosaurus:

Lystrosaurus species of Dinosaur belongs to the family of dicynodont therapsids. It lived during the Earlier Permian and Middle Triassic period that dates back to nearly 250 million years ago.

It probably had a horny beak that helped it to tear of pieces of vegetation. A lystosaurus is a heavily built herbivore and it is approximately a size of a pig. The structure of the shoulder and hip joints, as found during skeletal study by experts, suggest that the dinosaur moved with a semi-sprawling gait. The forelimbs are more robust than hind limbs. Lystosaurus were great diggers and they lived in burrows. Lystosaurus were very robust and their body type helped them to survive the changing atmospheric conditions during the Permian-Triassic extinction event. This picture shows the dinosaur to be dangerous but it actually never attacked any human or other animals. It is the sheer size and the lashing tongue that created the fear.

The three fingered forelimbs were small compared to large and powerful hind limbs. The body got balance from the heavy well-muscled tail. Allosaurus was really dangerous as it preyed on other herbivorous dinosaurs and other animals. The most common victims of an Allosaurus attack were Ornithopods, stegosaurids, and sauropods. Paleontologists are divided in their opinion on the behavior of the Allosaurus, some believe that they had a cooperative social behavior while hunting in packs, several others think Allosaurus were aggressive and ate from same carcass. Most probably, the Allosaurus attacked the prey in an ambush, using their lower jaw as a hatchet.
