Triceratops horn
Triceratops which lived during the Upper Cretaceous period, 67 to 65 million years ago had three horns. It grew up to 9 metres in length and fossils have been discovered in USA

Pachycephalosaurus skull
A fossil skull that once belonged to the dinosaur, Pachycephalosaurus. It features a huge dome of bone which may have protected the brain. The skull is also covered in decorative bony studs

Iguanodon tooth
Original Iguanodon tooth found by Dr. and Mrs. Mantell. Iguanodon was a large plant eater with cheek teeth for grinding vegetation and hoof-like claws

Hypsilophodon skull
Hypsilophodons narrow mouth would have been suitable for picking out soft shoots and leaves. Narrow mouths allow animals to select food with more care. This specimen lived 125 million years ago

Hypsilophodon foot
Hypsilophodons upper foot bones were long and the lower foot thin and flexible, very like todays running birds. This specimen which was discovered in England dates back 125 million years to

Iguanodon femur
A fossil femur, or thigh bone that once belong to the bipedal herbivorous dinosaur, Iguanodon. This specimen shows marks where muscles were once attached to the bone

Heterodontosaurus
This dinosaur whose name means different-toothed lizard is a member was an Ornithopod. It lived during the Lower Jurassic period around 205-180 million years ago

Tyrannosaurus rex eye
Graphic of Tyrannosaurus rex eye. It is believed that the eye sight of this dinosaur was well adapted to hunting. It also had a large olfactory cavity creating a strong sense of smell

This dinosaur was a bipedal herbivore. It lived between 205 and 180 million years ago during the Lower Jurassic period. It was a small, (1 metre in lengh) primative ornithopod

Ankylosaur skin nodule
This nodule would have been attached to the dinosaurs back by its flat base with the broad ridge providing protection. The Ankylosaurs were a family of dinosaurs characterised by thick bony plated

Knobbly skin impression from the armoured dinosaur, Polacanthus. This dinosaur lived around 125 million years ago during the Lower Cretaceous. Its fossils have been found in the Isle of Wight, UK

Scelidosaurus
A model of the dinosaur Scelidosaurus. A four metre long armoured skinned dinosaur which lived during the Lower Jurassic about 208 - 194 million years ago, first discribed by Richard Owen in 1868

Stegosaurus
A herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Upper Jurassic period, 155 to 144 million years ago. It has distinctive large plates which run from its neck to its tail. Illustration by Jo Konopelko

Polacanthus fossils
Fossils of the bony plates which were located on the hip area of the dinosaur, Polacanthus. This dinosaur was from the family of armoured dinosaurs called Ankylosaurs

Tuojiangosaurus; Chinese dinosaur skeleton
Tuojiangosaurus was herbivorous and had armour plates similar to those of the famous Stegosaurus. It lived about 150 million years ago and was 7 metres long and 2 metres high

Polacanthus skin nodule
These nodules were mixed in with the overlapping plates on Polacanthus skin similar to those in modern reptiles. Polacanthus lived 132 to 100 million years ago during the lower Cretaceous period

Protoceratops
