OLogy: Beyond T. rex

OLogy: Beyond T. rex

Meet some of the more unusual members of T. rex and Velociraptor’s family tree.

Some dinosaurs have all the luck.

They get to be movie stars and popular toys, and their bones attract huge crowds at museums.

You know the ones we are talking about…

But these popular dinosaurs tell only a small part of the story. Paleontologists have identified over 400 different species of extinct dinosaurs.

To see some strange and unusual dinosaurs you’ve never heard of (unless you’re a paleontologist), explore this cladogram.
