Do you know your Dacentrurus armatus from your Becklespinax altispinax?

Can You Tell Which Of These Are Real Dinosaurs?

The _[Sarcosaurus woodi's](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/sarcosaurus.html)_ name means flesh lizard and is estimated to have lived 202 - 195 million years ago. It is also thought to have been three meters in length.

There's no such thing!

That's a fake dinosaur.

[This dino's](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/eustreptospondylus.html) name is pronounced ewe-strep-toe-SPON-die-luss, and it lived 165 million years ago.

In 1841 a specimen of the _[Hylaeosaurus armatus](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/hylaeosaurus.html)_ was discovered by Richard Owen, it was one of the first dinosaur fossils ever identified.

It's made-up!

The _[Valdosaurus canaliculatus](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/valdosaurus.html)_ lived 150-135 million years ago.

Unfortunately this dino doesn't exist.

This one's bogus too.

This [dino](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/iguanodon.html) had a large thumb spike to fend off predators.

This [dino](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/avalonia.html) lived 210 - 205 million years ago and is thought to have been nine metres long!

Sadly, this dinosaur is imaginary

You might not know every single dinosaur, but at least you've just learnt more about them!

You tried-asaurus!

Congrats! You know your real dinos from the fake, you should be a paleontologist.

You're a clever-asaurus!
