Some Dinosaur Species

Go here to view previous labs.

All Dinosaurs belong to one of three orders, SAURISCHIA, ORNITHISCHIA, ot THECODONTIA. These are distinguished by the configuration of their hips, but they most likely evolved from the same ancestor. Saurischians are the lizard-hipped dinosaurs and have two suborders: THEROPODA, two legged meat eaters; and SAUROPODOMORPHA, which are gigantic quadrupedal plant-eaters as well as the smaller and more diverse prosauropods. Ornithischians, all plant-eaters, have three suborders: ORNITHOPODA, such as the duck-billed dinosaurs; THYREOPHORA, heavy-bodied ankylosaurs and stegosaurs; and MARGINOCEPHALIA, horned dinosaurs and pachycephalosaurs. THECODONTIA is a newly formed group, comparitively.
