DinoMania Trivia!

It would turn out the man who made the discovery used to hunt for deer and noticed a similarity to the bite marks from modern canids.

Nice one. Lol I had no idea at all.

i'll give it a shot.

what are the names of the largest know dinosaurs from each of known families?

Woah. Maybe you should narrow the question down...there are HUNDREDS of families.

ok then, the largest members of the sauropods, hadrosaurs, iguanadonts, albisaurs(sp?), and ornithomimids.

Hmmm...I'm gonna go with Amphicoelias (spelling?), Anatotitan, and...gee, I'm stumped.

Yikes, those aren't families.

Going by those, if you want families, there should be...
~Rebbachisauridae, Dicraeosauridae, Diplodocidae, Brachiosauridae, Camarasauridae, Euhelopodidae, and then the Titanosaur superfamily which have a few families in it too. And thats just sauropods!
~Hadrosaurinae, Lambeosaurinae, Saurolophinae, which are the hadrosaurs
~Camptosauridae, Dryosauridae, Iguanodontidae, Rhabdodontidae, which are the iguanodonts.
~Abelisauridae and Noasauridae for the abelisaurs
~Deinocheiridae, Garudimimidae, Harpymimidae, and Ornithomimidae for the onrithomimids.

Yikes, man! Thats a brutal question!

Edit: misread that, sorta. lol. Of what you have listed: Amphicoelias, Shantungosaurus or Lambeosaurus (I heard there is a larger one, though for the life of me I can't recall its name), Iguanodon, Majungasaurus (real iffy on this one), and Deinocheirus.

I'll throw Struthiomimus in there too, for the heck of it and I'd like to echo the Iguanodon.

Lol, I'll say right now that Struthiomimus aint gonna do anything for ya. Gallimimus was bigger, Beishanlong was even bigger, and finally Deinocheirus was absolutely massive! : P

Largest Sauropod: Argentinosaurus
Largest Hadrosaur: Anantotitan
Largest Abeiliosaurid: Rugops
Largist Ornithomimid: Deinocheirus

I REALLY Hope on the Abeiliosaurid (if I was reading that right)

dino got it on iguanadonts, sauropods and ornithomimids, but abelisaurs and hadrosaurs are still open.

It's not Anatotitan in the hadrosaurs? That thing was huge!

Um...Abelisaurus? I'm not familiar enough with the abelisaurs...

zhuchengosaurus is the largest hadrosaur and abelisaurus was the largest abelisaur.

Woot, I got 2 of em...lol.

Ah yes! Zhuchengosaurus was the one I was referring to but couldn't remember the name. And Abelisaurus would have been my second guess. Fine job, Titano.
And that makes half-points all around.

so whos next? i can't think of any good questions at the moment.

Just ask questions as you come up with them...there's no real turn-taking in this trivia game.
