Part A: What are Dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs are land-dwelling reptiles

that once roamed the Earth and the word comes from a Greek
word that means "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs are defined by their
skeleton features, particularly the way they hold the limbs.
Dinosaurs limbs support them from beneath, (like a horse), while
modern-day reptiles (such as crocodiles and lizards) limbs come
out from the sides. Dinosaur are a diverse species ranging in
different shapes and sizes and were able to survive in a variety of
ecosystems (Australian Museum, 2016) (Natural History
Museum, 2017) (Dinosaur Jungle, 2015). Dinosaurs are divided
into two major groups based on their hip structure, the Saurischia
(lizard-hipped) and the Ornithischia (bird-hipped). In…show

The skeleton consisted of Nine isolated teeth, left dentary (lower
jaw), right and left upper ribs, partial right ilium, both ulnae
(forearm), right forearm bone, finger bones, claws, right femur
(thigh), both tibiae (shin bones), right fibula (calf bone), right
ankle bone, foot bones, foot claws. Almost all the fossils were
discovered at the bottom of a Billabong near the town of Winton,
Queensland. The site was known as Billabong Bonebed, where
the greatest amount of dinosaur bones of the Australovenator and
diamantinasaurus ever in Australia. In 1981 near Eagles Nest in
southern Victoria, a dinosaur bone was discovered and
immediately recognised as an ankle bone of a theropod dinosaur.
It was first thought to belong to a dwarf species of Allosaurus,
because of the similar features, but in 2009 it was confidently
assigned as the Australovenator. The Australovenator was a 5-6m
swift predator that stood about 1.6m high and unlike most
theropod dinosaurs, the Australovenator had
