Fun Fossil Fact Friday! Eoraptor is one of the oldest dinosaurs we know of, having lived around 230 million years ago. That’s why its name means “dawn stealer,” because it comes from the dawn of the dinosaur age.

Extra fun fact: You can see an Eoraptor specimen up close at the Dinosaur Discovery Museum!

Fun Fossil Fact Friday!

Dreadnoughtus schrani means “fears nothing”, a name partly inspired by massive armored battleships called dreadnoughts.

Despite its intimidating name, Dreadnoughtus was actually an herbivore. Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara chose the name to highlight that plant-eating dinosaurs were some of the toughest and most resilient animals in their environments 🍃
