Cretaceous Dinosaurs List

[Adminopteryx]

Please compile here all the dinosaurs you think people would like to see from the Cretaceous period. Try to also include unique and interesting types of dinosaurs (even those new to science) as well as the popular and well known species. I'll start it off:

Acrocanthosaurus
Alvarezsaurus
Alxasaurus
Ampelosaurus
Animantarx
Austroraptor
Baryonyx
Beipiaosaurus
Brachiosaurus
Carcharodontosaurus
Carnotaurus
Chirostenotes
Corythosaurus
Deinonychus
Edmontosaurus
Futalognkosaurus
Gastonia
Gigantoraptor
Homalocephale
Hongshanosaurus
Iguanodon
Lambeosaurus
Minotaurasaurus
Muttaburrasaurus
Nanshiungosaurus
Neovenator
Nothronychus
Olorotitan
Ouranosaurus
Oviraptor
Pachycephalosaurus
Parasaurolophus
Pentaceratops
Saurolophus
Sauropelta
Segnosaurus
Spinosaurus
Styracosaurus
Suchomimus
Supersaurus
Suzhousaurus
Therizinosaurus
Titanosaurus
Triceratops
Troodon
Tsintaosaurus
Tyrannosaurus
Velociraptor
Utahraptor

It's unlikely all these would be used, but it'll provide plenty to consider when designing the layout of the paddocks and attractions. Several species (such as the Hadrosauroids) could be placed together in a single paddock to form groups, so I can get more species into a given space this way.

It would be a great help if you guys could find decent images and up-to-date information on the above listed. Please add good artwork and interpretations along with the name of the dinosaur you're referencing. This will help when considering which ones to use for the park. Thanks!

Gallimimus, carnotaurus,

[Adminopteryx]

Do you have any really realistic artwork of the dinosaurs listed above? I'm trying to get a beter idea how these animals may had looked? I've found a lot of images for them, but the artwork looks like it was done by a kid. so doesn't give the animal any individuality as a species.

[jpdude11]

No i dont actualy but ive seen some good drawings of them on devonien art (?)

[S. stenops]

Good T. rex:


New info on Edmontosaurus' close relative. This should be used for edmontosaurus' anatomy.

I wont even ask about that last picture........ i think that maybe a showw that you can do daily is bringing out a baby tricerstops and letting the kids pet it much like an pleo wich you could sell at your park to

[Adminopteryx]

A pleo?

[jpdude11]

Its an robotic baby dinosaur i have one and i love it.... but however i need a new battery for it ( the old one had battery leakage) google pleo or pleo RB

[S. stenops]

I did a little research. You have a lot of synonyms on there! You should consider removing:
Ultrasauros (synonym for Supersaurus)
Torosaurus (synonym for Triceratops)
Stygimoloch (synonym for Pachycephalosaurus)
Dracorex (synonym for Pachycephalosaurus)

[Adminopteryx]

Thanks for the info. List updated!

[S. stenops]

Do you think bruhathkayosaurus, or pachyrhinosaurus would be a good idea? Nigersaurus would also be nice.

[Adminopteryx]

Nigersaurus head looks interesting! How big is this animal?

[S. stenops]

I think they were nine metres, or 29.5 feet.

[Adminopteryx]

30ft is very small for a Sauropod. Is that for a full grown adult? Actually, if they're only this size, it would make it easier to add them as an attraction.

Yes, it is.
