Dinosaurs
The term "Dinosaur Fossils" comes from the Greek words: Deinos, meaning "terrible" and Sauros, meaning "lizard;" and the Latin word Fossilis, meaning "dug up." Therefore, dinosaur fossil literally means "great lizard that was dug up."
British anatomist Sir Richard Owen (1804-1892) coined the word "dinosaur" in 1841.
A British fossil finder and ecclesiastic, William Buckland (1784-1856), discovered the first dinosaur fossil remains of our modern times. In 1819, Buckland discovered the Megalosaurus Bucklandii (Buckland's Giant Lizard) in England.
Dinosaur fossils, as with other fossils, are found throughout earth's sedimentary layers. To date, approximately 95.0% of all earth's fossil remains are marine invertebrates, 4.74% are plants, 0.25% are land invertebrates (including insects), and 0.0125% are vertebrates. Of the vertebrates, the majority are fish.
95% of all land vertebrates found consist of less than one bone. However, billions of fossils have been found.
Up to as many as 1,200 dinosaur skeletons have been discovered thus far.
We have brought the Tyrannosaurus-Rex and two of his companions back and each is in your little boys control!
The awesome TREX R/C is the King of the dinosaurs and was feared by all! Our T-Rex comes pre-assembled and ready to stomp around. He ROARS, walks, and stomps around. His head moves around and his mouth opens to let out fearsome sounds!
The Dinosaurs Triceratops and Diplodocus come back to life as well and are pre-assembled.
All of our dinosaurs are remote controlled and easy to use. They walk, makes sounds and moves their heads.
Each comes with a 3-functional radio controller.
