Dinosaurs Words

Dinosaur names are mostly Greek and Latin compounds that describe physical features — "triceratops" means "three-horned face," "velociraptor" means "swift thief." Beyond the species names, this list includes the scientific terms around paleontology: the geological periods, the classification systems, and the processes that turned bones into fossils over millions of years.
