Dinosaurs are the main attraction for many of us and the Cretaceous was their
heyday. The large carnivores such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Spinosaurus were
thundering about the land, hunting Triceratops and Iguanodons. Flying through
the Cretaceous skies were gigantic Pterosaurs and the small proton-birds,
descendants of Archeopteryx. Though many Pterosaurs died out in the Jurassic
Extinction, those that were left grew to tremendous size.Since the first dinosaur fossils were recognized in the early 19th century, mounted fossil dinosaur
skeletons or replicas have been major attractions at museums around the
world, and dinosaurs have become a part of world culture.Their diversity, the large sizes of some group and their seemingly monstrous and fantastic nature have captured the interest and imagination.
