The Basics
The word dinosaur was invented in 1842 by a British palaeontologist called Robert Owen. It means ‘terrible lizard’ when translated from the Greek words deinos and sauros.
When talking about dinosaurs, one is most commonly referring to reptiles that lived on the earth between 231.4 million years and 66 million years ago.
To put this into perspective, humans have lived on the earth for around two million years, whereas dinosaurs roamed for more than eighty times that!
This period is known as the Mesozoic era, which means ‘middle life’ (referring to the age of the earth itself). It is further split into three periods: Triassic (231.4 - 201 million years ago), Jurassic (201 - 145 million years ago) and Cretaceous (145 - 66 million years
