dinosaur

noun ˈdʌɪnəsɔːˈdaɪnəˌsɔr

1A fossil reptile of the Mesozoic era, in many species reaching an enormous size.
恐龙

Dinosaurs were all extinct by the end of the Cretaceous period (65 million years ago), a popular theory being that the extinctions were the result of the impact of a large meteorite
Example sentencesExamples
- There is the added question of how the dinosaurs are to be fossilised in a desert.

- The ornithodires went on to produce pterosaurs and dinosaurs, including the birds.
- More distantly related to true dinosaurs were the marine plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.
- If it is alive then it probably is not a dinosaur, since dinosaurs are extinct.
- Ichthyosaurs were not dinosaurs, but represent a separate group of marine vertebrates.
- At the foot of the mountain, colourful fossils of shells and dinosaurs add a mysterious flavour to the place.
- These were the fragmentary remains of an armored dinosaur, an ankylosaur.
- The layer was generally at the place in the fossil record where the dinosaurs disappeared.
- His work provided strong, compelling support for the theory that birds are theropod dinosaurs.
- He was also able to travel to Bloemfontein to compare the fossils with those of an early dinosaur in the National Museum.
- They do still have two skeletons of Tarbosaurus, a theropod dinosaur related to Tyrannosaurus rex.

Derivatives

dinosaurian

noun & adjectivedʌɪnəˈsɔːrɪən

These forms represent all of the major groups of the first, Triassic, dinosaurian radiation: Sauropodomorpha, Theropoda, Cerapoda, and Thyreophora, respectively.
Example sentencesExamples
- Amongst these dinosaurian beasts, horses were keeping cool in the hazy, humid heat, by standing knee deep in the shallow water.
- Some dinosaurs may have jumped or hopped occasionally, but the characteristic hopping of many small songbirds is probably a specialized feature of advanced birds, not something they inherited from their dinosaurian ancestors.
- Thirty years later, the cave city of Matera still stands on the ravine over the River Gravina, a dinosaurian pile the colour of the sandy earth.
- This, the last period of dinosaurian evolution, was also the period of their greatest diversity, although only a fraction of the types (mainly latest Cretaceous Western North American and Asian forms) are known.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from modern Latin dinosaurus, from Greek deinos 'terrible' + sauros 'lizard'.

The word dinosaur was coined in 1841, from Greek words meaning ‘terrible lizard’, the -saurus, also found in saurian (early 19th century) ‘lizard-like’. People or things that have not adapted to changing times have been condemned as dinosaurs since the 1950s.
