We do enjoy our unique looking herbivores and Pinacosaurus is another of these. With its unusual head, armoured body and clubbed tail, this Cretaceous period dinosaur was found in one of our favourite countries… China. It is believed that is must have been a desert animal as most of the fossils have been found in sand dunes. In fact, quite a few herd type deposits have been found.

Now the I’m a Dinosaur video.

  With Zander

I chose this dinosaur strictly on its crazy nose horn. A relative of the triceratops this single horned herbivore was found in the Cretaceous period and unlike many other herbivores is believed to run in herds of ONLY its species. In fact, a muddled 15 different different dinosaurs (of the same species) we found in a jumble at one of the dig sites. The Einiosaurus has been found only in Montana and was a solid and heavy dinosaur.

While there is only one video for this dinosaur from I’m a Dinosaur it is also available in the 360 imagery on the iPad app Fantastic Dinosaurs HD.

And now for the links. You can access EnchantedLearning’s fact sheet HERE. Age Of Dinosaurs has a map, facts and an interesting article HERE. The Smithsonian has a lengthy article that I skimmed a bit for Emanuel HERE. Prehistoric Wildlife has their information HERE. Dinosaurs.about.com has a fact page HERE. DinosaurKing has general statistics HERE. We used the top image for our colouring page HERE and of course don’t forget about Wiki HERE.

All 3 boys enjoying the lesson together

The Cetiosaurus was a misunderstood dinosaur for a long period of time simply due to the massive size of its vertebrae. In fact, it was mistakenly believed to be a whale. From the late Jurassic period this large dinosaur was found in England and Europe. Its limbs were solid and stubby and its tail long. This was a dinosaur that would have weighed tons and was VERY primitive.

We had one video for this dinosaur – I’m a Dinosaur.

Surprisingly for a dinosaur that roamed all over Europe there are not that many links to share. I will start with our colouring page HERE. Emanuel really enjoyed this one as the giant herbivore was only one in a scene of dinosaurs. Animal Planet has a lengthy article HERE. DinosaurKing has some general statistics HERE. KidsDinos has the usual charts HERE. Dinosaurs.about.com touches on our dinosaur HERE. EnchantedLearning has a fact sheet HERE. And finally, Wiki has their article HERE.

All 3 brothers got in on this one!
