Dinosaur skeleton: An archosaur, postosuchus kirkpatrickii, was a large meat-eating reptile member of the codont group of the late triassic period, 235-208 million years ago, before the dinosaurs. Postosuchus walked on all fours but could walk on its hind legs for short intervals. This is a composite skeleton, constructed from castings of bones from several museums. Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, Los Angeles, California, January 2006.

  • Dinosaur skeleton: Diplodocus tongus, a long-necked dinosaur of the late Jurassic Period, 150 million years ago, from the Morrison Formation, Uinta County, Utah. The diplodocus were sauropods, which were plant eaters and the largest land animals ever, thriving worldwide. Denver Museum of Nature and Science, December 2005.
  • Dinosaur skeleton: Mamenchisaurus, with its long neck in particular, takes up the entire length of a very long room with its full length skeleton. This plant eating saurapod grew to 65-85 ft long and lived in the Late Jurassic Period. It is the largest necked dinosaur, and its neck is balanced with a long tail with a small club on its end. It is believed to have lived in herds of up to 100. This particular skeleton is a cast of a fossil skeleton from China.

  • Dinosaur/dinosaur genera: Dimetrodon attacking an Eryops, both living during the Permian period 245-280 million years ago, long before the dinosaurs evolved. Dimetrodon was a mammal-like reptile, an ancestor of mammals, about 11 feet long weighing 500+ pounds, with a large sale-like flap of skin along its back supported by long, bony spines. It had sharp teeth and clawed feet. The Eryops was a common, primitive amphibian living in swamps, a meat eater with stout body and very wide ribs. It was 5 feet long, a large land animal for its time. Museum of Nature and Science, Denver, Colorado 2005.
