How Many Types of Dinosaurs are Known?
"These species are placed in about 300 valid dinosaur genera (Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, etc.), although about 540 have been named. Recent estimates suggest that about 700 to 900 more dinosaur genera may remain to be discovered."
Of course, if you just include the "main types" ....that would be a lot less. Right?
"Originally, dinosaurs must have been harmless--designed to delight man and benefit the world"
Y'know... like flowers, made to delight man, and not to attract potential pollinators. And humming birds.... the males so iridescent and colorful just for us. The female birds don't care what the males look like. It's all for me.....ME....ME!!!
