Prickly Tuojiangosaurus! This is Tuonjiangosaurus multispinus, a Chinese dinosaur a lot like a Stegosaurus. That spiky tail, or "Thagomizer" would pack one heck of a wallop to anything wanting to have a go at the beast! |
Perky Sordes pilosus! How cute is this rhamphorynchid pterosaur? Small, probably highly agile and covered in fur, Sordes would love to rid you of your insect pests! |

Parasaurolophus walkeri This hadrosaur has one of the most recognisable crests that we know of in the prehistoric world. But as to whether it was a snorkel (alas, unlikely) or display - we may never know for sure! |
Pteranodon sternbergi This magnificent pteranodon soars into the sky, fully aware of just how cool his crest is! |
Oz Muttaburrasaurus The remains of this Australian dinosaur were found in Muttaburra, in Queensland. We're gradually learning more about it, but the nose is still a bit of a mystery! |

Tyrant King! Tyrannosaurus Rex Powerful, big and with a mouth full of what essentially are steak knives the t-rex has always fascinated us. From a safe distance! |
Diplodocus longus This distinctive Jurassic sauropod with its long neck and whip like tail is ready for action! |
Deinonychus antirrhopus This "terrible claw" Deinonychus with his "counterbalancing" antirrhopus tail is on the hunt for Cretaceous dinosaurs or other prehistoric animals too slow or unwary to avoid him! |

Kronosaurus queenslandicus This great and dreadful, knife toothed huge pliosaur of the Cretaceous. Not a dinosaur, but lived around the same time as some of them. |
Palaeontology - Dig It! A host of prehistoric creatures, bright and fanciful proclaim palaeontological pride! |
|||
Archaeopteryx "Dinosaur Bird" This bright, colourful archaeopteryx has purple plumage and a bright yellow 'beak'. He's in a flap about something! |
Velociraptor Fleet and fierce, these average sized therapods could really ruin a slow moving herbivore's day. This brightly coloured raptor comes in two styles. |

Brachiosaurus/Giraffatitan Shake the ground yourself with this handsome Brachiosaur! Or Giraffatitan. Whatever it is today! |

Ancient Waters A sampler of prehistoric waters. Included are some of the best known aquatic reptiles, and the largest known - Kronosaurus Queenslandicus (my fellow Australian)! |
Doomed Conflict Which will win? Protoceretops or Velociraptor? Neither actually. They both succumb and are fossilised, to be found millions of years later. |
