Dinosaur explorer for kids

A dinosaur explorer seeded from the Paleobiology Database, the scientists' own record of fossils: about 2,800 dinosaur genera and species with who named them, their family, whether they had bird hips or lizard hips, what they ate, the period they lived in (Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous) and how many millions of years ago, about 10,800 fossil sites on a map with their rock and country, the 21,000 fossils found there (bones, footprints and eggs), and the published paper behind every record. Birds are left out.
