That's right, the one's that have recently been recategorised as herbivores were Eoraptor and Herrerasaurus. See, it's not really that hard.

Well, Achillobator and DarkHououmon decide between each other who's next.

Also, if I may add...it sorta is that hard because I have not found any resources stating that herrerasaurus was a herbivore.

Actually, how do we even know what dinosaurs were herbivores and which ones were not, seeing that no human here as ever seen a dinosaur up close, that the dinosaurs on Earth died out thousands of years ago, and that the classifications for them are changing faster than the stock market?

The biggest giveaway to a diet is usually in the teeth. Obviously dinosaurs with sharp teeth, serrated and blade-like, are better suited for a carnivorous diet while dinosaurs with more blunted teeth, like you see in sauropods, stegosaurs, and ceratopsians, are better suited for a herbivorous diet.

Okay, here's a question:

Which dinosaur had its name derived from the frustration felt by the paleontologist who was examining it?

Achillobator · **Reply #125 on:** September 14, 2007, 09:33:25 PM

Irritator challengeri (I think I got the species name spelt wrong)

DarkHououmon · **Reply #126 on:** September 14, 2007, 10:38:24 PM

Correct. Your turn.

What dinosaur is sometimes known as allosaurus maximus?

Grievous55 · **Reply #128 on:** September 17, 2007, 09:07:02 PM

Saurophaganax Maximus. It is also the state fossil of Oklahoma.

You have to answer a question correctly first, and be the first one to do so.

Dinonut · **Reply #131 on:** September 17, 2007, 09:38:04 PM

Understood.

Achillobator · **Reply #132 on:** September 18, 2007, 12:18:57 AM

Grievous, you're up :3 you got it right.

This creature is seen drawn in Maple White's sketchbook in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Lost World.

Megalosaurus?

Grievous55 · **Reply #135 on:** September 27, 2007, 11:15:15 PM

Nope.

Stegosaurus

Grievous55 still around, or is he MIA?

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #138 on:** June 20, 2008, 07:42:35 PM

I'm afraid he is. Last seen in June of last year I suggest you take the floor Kenji (or anyone who has a good question ready).
