Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dominant for over 160 million years during the Triassic Period through the Cretaceous Period, Dinosaurs were a diverse and varied grouping of animals, including over 9,000 bird species. Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent and paleontologists and paleobiologists continue to gather information on the different species. Some were herbivores, others carnivorous, some bipedal, others quadrupedal and other had wings to fly. This book explores the Ornithopod, Ceratopsian, Pachycephalosaur and Thyreophoran dinosaurs classified by largest and smallest size categories.
